Client Brief

Develop the look and feel of a minimally branded microsite dedicated to the nations favourite sauce.

Several solutions had already been presented to Heinz before I arrived, but all were rejected for being too “chintzy”.

My Creative Solution

Following some initial (and slightly messy) experimentation, a visually bold and vivid coloured typographic aesthetic emerged as the undisputed champion.

This aesthetic exuded a sense of freshness and vibrancy that resonated powerfully. My solution received first time sign-off from Heinz. They loved the new direction.

Design Iterations

In the preliminary design stages I explored using halftones, inspired by the punk ethos of poster creation. This approach exuded a bold and striking presence, reminiscent of an era defined by its impactful visuals. Each idea carried a subtle undertone of nostalgia, evoking a sense of longing for bygone times.

Saucy Out Takes!

At the heart of the project lay the subject of sauces, and this naturally beckoned me to dive headfirst into a realm of creative exploration. It was impossible to circumvent the temptation to experiment with the tactile and sensory aspects that make sauces so endearing – the squelchy, squirty, and squeezy qualities that evoke a sense of nostalgia and joy.
