Cigarette Packet Design – Elemental Rhythm
November 2024 | Illustrator, Graphite Pen, Photoshop
This packaging study connects the ritual of smoking with the four classical elements of air, fire, water, and earth. The series uses detailed graphite linework and controlled color blocking to turn drifting smoke and natural forces into layered, symbolic scenes on the Marlboro packet. This approach creates a cohesive set of packs with a structured yet subtly surreal visual identity.

Product Illustration
Fine graphite lines trace light, rising smoke that dissolves into open sky. Sparse marks and open negative space keep the composition weightless, as if the image could drift off the surface at any moment. The overall mood is quiet and suspended, like a brief pause between breaths.
