Client: Hornitos

Overview: Hornitos Tequila asked our team to design and produce a distinctive variety pack for their new tequila seltzer. The seltzer market is overly saturated with brands that all lean into the same design codes, so we leaned into the Hornitos brand. Utilizing their vivid colors and an illustrative style. We aimed to create something that stood out on the shelf and had instant product recognition.
