Final Energy Bottle Mockup


Exen Survey Results

Exen Survey
To research and to better understand the creative market’s perspective on energy drinks and beverages in general, we created a likert scale and gave them out to students on the campus of The Art Institute of CA – Orange County, in Santa Ana, CA. The subjects’ ages ranged from 18 years – older 20’s with the majority being male. The questions and results are listed below.

Questions and Results
·      Do you drink a lot of energy drinks or sodas?
o   30% disagree // 10% neutral // 60% agree
·      Do you rely on energy drinks to stay up?
o   30% disagree // 70% agree
·      Are you influenced to buy beverages based on its popularity?
o   20% disagree // 30% neutral // 50% agree
·      Do you feel there needs to be a specific drink that caters to creatives?
o   10% disagree // 20% neutral // 70% agree
·      Is health quality important to you in drinks?
o   30% disagree // 20% neutral // 50% agree

Summary
After evaluating the results of the survey we found that the majority of art students agreed on drinking a large amount of energy drinks or soda to stay awake. A large percent also felt that there should be a specific drink that caters to creatives, similar to how Red Bull and Monster Energy caters to action sport athletes. When asked if popularity influenced their decision on which beverages to buy, 50% agreed, while 30% were neutral and 20% disagreed. And similar results were found when asked if health quality was important to them in drinks, with 50% agreeing, 20% neutral and 30% disagreeing.


This survey shows the popularity of energy drinks within the creative industry, in this case an art college campus. And also displays the demand for a drink that caters to creatives, while showing how important health quality is when choosing a drink, which EXEN offers.

Still working on the label might add more information to it.  But this might pretty much look like it.  Will discuss with team memeber see what is our final decision.

Energy Bottle Label

This week I worked on the "energy" bottle label. I wen't with a green/yellow color palette. All the bottles will have the same basic design and concept but will have different colors and content, according to their type. I also added a little description of what is inside the drink.

Relaxation Label Comp

 
Still working on the Nutrition Facts and maybe a small description of the drink.
