# 8-Bit Cartoon Packaging Dho Yee Chung's 'Drink Me' is Alice in Wonderland-Inspired By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2013-06-11 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alice-in-wonderland-inspired References: [packagingoftheworld](http://www.packagingoftheworld.com/2013/06/drink-me-student-project.html) & [doychung](http://www.doychung.com/drink-me.html) This Alice in Wonderland-Inspired packaging combines 8-bit graphics with a classical childhood story. The packaging includes many references to the beloved story. The name of the project, 'Drink Me!,' alludes to the potions that Alice drinks when she first falls down the rabbit hole into Wonderland. Each label is color-coded to match the flavor of [fruit soda](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beverage-packaging-design), and features a different element from the story, like the White Rabbit, mushrooms, teacups and crowns. The 'Fruit Punch' flavor shows the pixellated face of Alice on an aqua label, like the color of her dress in the [Disney](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/b-water-beverage) movie. These icons are digitized into 8-bit images that make the designs even more charming. While many childhood stories have been modernized, the 8-bit graphics give this packaging by Dho Yee Chung a slight nostalgia. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.2/10 - Popularity: 41% | Activity: 46% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Drinking](https://www.trendhunter.com/drinking) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **8-bit Packaging:** The use of 8-bit graphics in packaging design creates a nostalgic and charming aesthetic. - **Story-inspired Packaging:** Packaging that incorporates elements from beloved stories creates a unique and engaging consumer experience. - **Color-coded Labels:** Color-coding labels to match product flavors enhances visual appeal and helps consumers make informed choices. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Beverage:** The beverage industry can leverage 8-bit packaging and story-inspired designs to stand out on store shelves and connect with nostalgic customers. - **Food:** Food brands can explore the use of 8-bit graphics and story-themed packaging to create a memorable and enticing product presentation. - **Graphic Design:** The graphic design industry can find opportunities in creating unique and innovative packaging designs that blend nostalgia and modern aesthetics. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Vibrant Summer Packaging Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/first-harvest-green-tea.md) - [Playful Coffee Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sunday-coffee-project.md) - [Playful Tea Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/onetotea.md) - [Nostalgic Game-Inspired Wine Bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/finca-de-la-rica.md) - [Crayon-Themed Soda Branding](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crayonthemed-soda.md) - [Literature-Inspired Packaging Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/good-to-read.md) - [Comic Strip Milk Bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/seki-milk.md) - [Pixel-Flavored Colas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cocacola-zero-sugar-byte.md) - [Adventure-Inspired Soda Cans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/destinos-venezuela.md)
