Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

The task was to create a distinctive brand image for Sergio Dalla Riva, a renowned producer of traditional Italian coffee with a 50-year legacy. This involved developing a logo, a recognizable graphic identity, a harmonious color palette, and a clear system for presenting product information on the packaging.

The design solution embraced a premium style, featuring black as the primary color, bold typography, and enticing imagery. Bright accent colors were strategically introduced to differentiate product lines: green for Espresso #3 and red for 100% Arabica.

A system of pictograms was also developed to highlight key product details, such as flavor intensity, roasting degree, and grain characteristics. The result is a cohesive, upscale brand image that resonates with consumers and effectively communicates the essence of Sergio Dalla Riva's coffee
