Packaging Design of W Coffee by Itoen

Packaging Design of W Coffee by Itoen

Itoen is a well-known beverage company in Japan whose famous drink is called "Ooi Ocha (hey, Tea in Japanese...)" When I try drinks from vending machines in Japan, I often find myself choosing drinks from the vending machines by Itoen. It's a coincident but they sure make good drinks that catch my eyes.
During my recent trip to Japan, I found cool packaging designs for coffee by Itoen.

Here is a photo of the coffee I tried on the train to Sapporo from Asahikawa.

I also like their another beverage series called TEA'S TEA. It attracts me with its woven textile like patterns with gradient colors. I am looking fotward to seeing more designs from Itoen.

San Francisco Trip



I got a chance to visit San Francisco end of the last month to attend a visual design training
at Cooper. During my stay, I explored the town. The look of the buildings in SF are very different from LA and I enjoyed observing and taking pictures of the cityscape.
