Cure me, meat
...


Cure me, meat
For ABP food group
Cure me, meat was a packaging design that later evolved into a service design project exploring shifting consumer attitudes towards meat consumption in the anthropocene. The project aims to educate and inform a new generation of health orientated meat-eaters about appropriate and nutritious meat consumption, as well as positioning it as scarce medicinal supplement in the face of environmental degradation.


Background
ABP (Anglo Beef Processors) is one of Europe’s largest suppliers of lamb and beef in the UK’s major supermarkets.
‘Ready to cook’ meals are becoming a popular option for consumers who are reluctant to buy frozen ready-meals but too time-poor to prepare and cook home-cooked meals.
However, the segment is lacking in innovation and struggling to reach a younger, ethically-conscious demographic, who are Increasingly concerned with their
environmental impact, more and more consumers are choosing meat-free diets and are conscious of plastic packaging use.


Brief
Design an innovative ‘ready to cook’ meal experience and its packaging for ABP that takes into account changing consumer attitudes toward meat consumption, food preparation and disposable packaging.

Lack of variety
Sustainable packaging
Key concerns
Lack of portion awareness
“I don’t know how much meat to eat to gain muscle”
“I eat meat because it’s gives me nutritions I miss out on because of allergies”
Meat as supplement


Concept
From initial research of the effect of agriculture on the environment, using pharmaceutical appearance for meat packaging reiterates its scarcity and challenges meat’s highly accessible presence.
The project focuses on positioning meat as a supplement in the midst of the Flexitarian diet trend, that also educates the consumer on healthy meat portion size as advised by the EAT lancet commission.


To healthily feed 11 billion people in 2050, the Planetary Health Diet recommends 14g red meat & 29g white meat per day.




Outcome
Rebranding meat as pharmaceutical supplements to highlight and educate the user on healthy portion sizing and its environmental impacts.




Follow-on concept: potential service
The future of meat is gearing more and more towards lab grown alternatives. By 2030, The effects of intensive agriculture will be heading onto a reverse with meat protein(initially produced in the lab) being produced at home by 2050.
Bridge the gap: proposal:
A service that utilises data generated from the user’s health (in combination with their preferred flavours or cravings) to generate on-demand and personalised protein dishes, as well as provides the consumer with real time data and transparency on the welfare of the animal stem cell provider.
Lab to table


Design an innovative farm to fork service for medicinal meat that considers future mainstream production of lab meat, while improving user’s experience with ABP food group.

Hug
...


Hug
For Twitter
Hug is a branding project for Twitter that seeks to bring conversation to everyday life - with the catch being someone we don’t know. The project embodies itself in a simple cup sleeve as the identity basis for the brand new #OpenUp campaign. It aims to bring our local communities closer and in a comfortable manner; the paper arms simply signal your consent to talk to someone new.


The brief
Design a brand campaign for Twitter that embraces taking online conversation offline in local communities.


Concept
The cup sleeve was first inspired by the open-armed gesture to signal your will to engage. Existing ideas that aim to engage conversation between strangers in the market include ‘Tube Chat?’ badge; but this later proved to have an adverse effect as the underground conditions were unfavourable to casual chatting. ‘Hug’ is located in cafes where the environment proves to be more relaxed for conversations. Printed on the inside of the arms are casual conversation starters that make the chat flow easier.


Sketches




Outcome
#OpenUp campaign for twitter uses the identity of a cup sleeve that aims to bring more stranger conversations to local communities and cafes.
