Thai Lagoon Prawn

Boosting local business in the Southern Thailand through branding design

At a glance

During my junior year, I took a Branding Design class and had the opportunity to develop branding for a local product in Phatthalung, the Southern province of Thailand.


The goal was to create a logo and full branding for lagoon prawn, also known as "Three-Water Prawn", to upgrade product and promote exporting product to other countries.

Understanding the product

Unlike other projects where I started by understanding the users, this project was started by understanding the product. I researched what are the Phatthalung giant prawn's unique features including habitat, physical characteristics, as well as how it's being sold.

Existing packaging

From market research, I found that most prawn's sellers still don't have a proper packaging.

Market segmentation

Following further market research, I identified main customer segment in order to tailor visual elements according to demographics, behaviors, and preferences of the target audience.

Moodboard & visual element

The moodboard consists of 4 keywords that reflect back to Phatthalung province nature and prawn product.
