Chow – Ramen brand


My thesis focuses on creating a character-based ramen brand for young working adults and students in Pakistan who crave quick and easy comfort food. Each flavor corresponds to a specific character and their traits, moods, and preferences. This approach aims to create an emotional connection between the product and the consumer, making the experience more engaging and memorable.

The brand identity is built through a strong visual language combining expressive character illustrations, flavor-driven design elements, and playful packaging. Each product is designed to stand out on shelves while offering a sense of personality and story. The types of packaging include takeaway-style noodle boxes and cup noodles, both designed to suit a fast-paced lifestyle and easy on-the-go consumption.

Beyond packaging, the project focuses on building a reliable and captivating brand experience across digital and physical touchpoints. This includes visual identity, social media presence, and promotional material that brings the characters to life and invites consumers to explore and relate to the brand.
