Research abstract:
The first approach was to study the competitors and develop distinguishing colors, packaging and forms from them. All the information is gathered on the internet and with competitor products in hand was done in the first 3 weeks of the project development, extracting how a new cosmetic brand can achieve a successful place in the marketing with a modern and irreverent design. The conclusion of this research was: the design had to be clean, sophisticated and easily distinguished in the market with the main brand competitors (Kerastase, Schwarzkopf, and L Oreal).

Challenge:
Megeve started as a high cosmetic product and introduced not only as one of the most important brands in beauty and hairdresser lifestyle but also in professional marketing. All products needed a high-quality design, packaging differentiation, well-looking, and distinctive label appeal. Transforming the creation process in one of the biggest creations and accomplishment challenges in my professional life.
