packaging design

overview

Banology is a 2-in-1 scalp scrub shampoo developed as a results-driven yet approachable product, targeting consumers who want visible hair and scalp improvements without compromising on aesthetics. my role was to design the bottle packaging for Banology, ensuring it felt bold, premium and instantly recognisable for the brand.

the challenge

create packaging that reflects the brand’s expert-led credibility while still feeling modern and fresh
design a bottle that stands out visually in a saturated haircare market
communicate the product’s key ingredient (banana) in a way that feels elevated rather than gimmicky
balance bold branding with a clean, professional finish

the solution

colour palette: i chose a light yellow bottle paired with darker yellow banana illustrations to create an immediate visual link to the product’s key ingredient. the tonal yellow-on-yellow approach keeps the design cohesive while remaining playful and warm.
illustrations: iversized banana illustrations sit subtly behind the main label elements, adding depth and texture without overpowering the design. this helps communicate the product story visually while maintaining a premium feel.
typography & branding: a large, bold brand logo takes centre stage to ensure strong shelf presence and instant brand recognition. dark typography was used to create contrast against the yellow base, improving readability and reinforcing a confident, statement-led aesthetic.
overall aesthetic: the design balances clean layout principles with bold colour and scale, resulting in packaging that feels both professional and eye-catching.

final thoughts

the Banology packaging successfully positions the product as a premium, expert-backed haircare solution while remaining approachable and visually distinctive. The bold colour choice, strong branding and illustrative details work together to create a confident shelf presence that reflects the founder’s expertise and the brand’s commitment to high-quality haircare.
