There’s a vibrancy to this line. I like the boastful description, the handwrit-
ten recipe style on the smaller juices, and the fun application of text color
that creates a quieter or louder exclamation. The photorealistic rendering
of the leaf with stem and the way its drop shadow creates a sense of layers
make this design particularly eye-catching. I am not sure why this distin-
guishing element was not carried throughout the rest of the line. The brand
identity’s typography is fun, fresh, and positive. The yoga man’s posture
conveys feel good but his illustration style says insecurity. The product col-
ors nicely complement the graphics colors. The label curvature and bottle
structures add to the lighthearted, approachable character of this brand.

At fi rst glance, I found this design interesting, and I really liked the shape
of the larger bottles. But after really looking at it more closely, it’s sort of
a mess, which, admittedly, I sometimes like. Rather than making me feel
calm, though—as I suspect the Yoga pose is meant to do—it makes me anx-
ious. The hand-wrought typeset font and the sort of ‘70s mod treatment of
Feel Good don’t work together, yet they’re not different enough to comple-
ment each other; they both feel contrived. The variety of bottle shapes—
each nice individually— adds to the disconnect for me. Honestly, it feels like
a big brand trying to be a mom-and-pop small brand.
