Taking the symbolic meaning and applying it my approach along with the general concept of a plane being associated with travel.

Rallie
Rallie was designed to expresses the unique characteristics the package contains, with the intention of aiding in accessibilities individuals may face that are difficult. Through modern design and bright bold colours, Rallie focuses on the simple moments in life like sharing a drink with a friend, celebrating little and big wins and coming together to connect with loved one.
Aelia
Aelia is customer usage multipurpose packaging design. Focusing on creating a second life for packaging after purchase, the packaging acts as a sunglass holder and display. This allows for sunglasses to be protected and shown to users. I wanted to develop an alternate design solution to how sunglasses are presented and how the packaging can provide a second use to the product.
