Bronze A' Design Award Winner 2025
Two snack food packages float in space against a background of angular geometric shapes creating an energetic explosive atmosphere, beginning at the center and moving outward, the left package tilts at a diagonal angle leaning toward the lower left, its surface displaying warm red tones like ripe tomatoes or cayenne pepper combined with deep brownish-black areas suggesting rich dark chocolate or roasted coffee, golden yellow circular elements resembling summer sunlight or fresh butter provide bright contrast, across the package front appears white text in a non-western script along with photography showing golden-brown fried items with pronounced parallel ridges creating a washboard texture that would feel crisp and structured to the touch, near these photographed items rest bright red chile peppers with glossy surfaces suggesting smooth waxy skin and fresh moisture, the right package stands more vertically with its surface dominated by vibrant green like fresh spring grass or lime zest combined with the same deep brownish-black creating sophisticated contrast, similar golden yellow circular elements and white script text appear along with additional yellow rectangular accent suggesting caution or emphasis, this package also displays ridged golden fried items accompanied by a dark square element that might feel rough or granular like pressed seaweed or charcoal-coated food, small red chile slices suggesting spice intensity, the background radiating outward from behind these central packages consists of angular triangular and polygonal shapes in repeating colors of the warm tomato red, the vibrant grass green, the deep coffee black, and the bright butter yellow, these geometric fragments overlap and recede creating multiple spatial layers like shattered glass or explosive rays, some shapes appear sharp and defined while others fade into the surrounding darkness particularly at the corners and edges, small spark-like elements scattered throughout suggest heat or energy like glowing embers floating in air, lighting comes from multiple directions creating bright reflective streaks across the glossy package surfaces where light bounces off like sunlight on water or polished metal, these highlights appear as diagonal white streaks suggesting the packages possess smooth impermeable surfaces that would feel slick and cool to touch, the photographed food items receive warm illumination from the left side creating golden highlights on their ridged peaks and darker valleys in the grooves emphasizing their three-dimensional corrugated structure, the overall atmosphere suggests excitement and intensity through the saturated colors and dynamic angular arrangement, the warm red and yellow areas would feel energizing like standing in bright sunlight while the cool green notes suggest refreshing contrast like stepping into shade, the packages appear suspended at approximately chest or eye height as if floating in space before the explosive geometric background, the composition invites scanning from left to right across the two products while the radiating background patterns encourage the eye to move outward toward the edges and back to center in rhythmic cycles.
In China, Lay’s is known for its fresh, daring take on snacks.

The new packaging is bold, energetic visuals made sure the spicy shout was loud and clear. At the center of the new design is a playful mouth illustration paired with dynamic food photography showing off the flavors at their full power.
