Project summary
Background
"A Bottle Of" wanted to launch a new bottled water product within the cluttered water category.
The product’s claim was intriguing. By reciting affirmations while drinking the product, positivity would then manifest within the drinker’s life.
This was a "high concept" client brief—the kind of creative challenge we love.
Solution
During the development of the concept, Surveillance explored positive thought research, mantra repetition, meditation, energy vibrations and objects with spiritual or metaphysical significance.
To solve the brief, we approached the design in three ways:
 Functionality—text explained the positivity concept and provided instruction on how the drinker should begin.
Symbolism—metaphorical icons and complimenting colours were developed for each of the themed bottles (a heart to symbolise ‘love’, yin-and-yang to support ‘wellbeing’ and a fixed triangle to represent ‘strength’).
Engagement—the layout of affirmations and symbols encouraged interaction. The drinker would rotate the bottle, in hand, while reciting the affirmations, similar to the act of turning a prayer wheel.
Result
The final design was modern and avoided the visual clichés found regularly in so-called "alternative" or "herbal" lifestyle products.
On the shelf, the bottled water range had broad general appeal without compromising its unique product differentiation claim.
