Project Description for MAXELLO Layered Cake Packaging

In designing the packaging for MAXELLO Layered Cake , I embarked on a comprehensive creative journey rooted in deep market research and strategic analysis. Before putting pen to paper, I conducted an extensive study of competitive designs both locally in Egypt and globally, identifying visual trends, consumer preferences, and gaps in the market. This process was essential in crafting a design that stands out while authentically representing MAXELLO’s brand values: quality, indulgence, and modern elegance.

The result is a bold yet refined packaging concept that captures attention through vibrant color blocking, clean typography, and a dynamic layout inspired by the layers of the cake itself. Every element was intentionally designed to communicate freshness, premium quality, and a contemporary twist on tradition. Unlike conventional confectionery packaging that leans heavily into nostalgia or overly sweet visuals, MAXELLO’s design speaks to a more sophisticated audience who appreciates aesthetics as much as taste.

This was not a redesign — it was the very first packaging identity for MAXELLO Layered Cake, created to launch the product with a strong visual voice in a crowded market. The design successfully positions MAXELLO as a modern, aspirational brand that respects tradition but isn’t afraid to innovate.

Recognized for its strategic impact and eye-catching appeal, this project has been featured on Packaging of the World , Ads of the World, Favourite Design Award, World Brand Design celebrating its unique ability to blend storytelling, culture, and design excellence.
