ZIMA Design
My Role
ZIMA is a low-alcohol beverage designed to deliver a fresh, vibrant drinking experience. I was responsible for crafting the brand’s entire visual identity, from 3D bottle modeling to promotional materials and a responsive website. Using Cinema 4D, I brought the product to life through realistic renderings and dynamic juice splash visuals that emphasize the fruity character of each flavor—Orange, Peach, and Blueberry. In addition to visual content, I developed a responsive website to showcase the product line and strengthen the brand’s digital presence.
Project Overview
The ZIMA project blends product modeling, motion design, and web development to present a cohesive, modern brand experience. I modeled the bottles in Cinema 4D, applying transparency and splash effects to highlight freshness and flavor. The visuals were designed to be colorful yet refined, appealing to the target audience of light alcohol drinkers. A responsive website was also built to provide consistent engagement across devices.
Design Challenge
One of the major challenges was achieving realistic rendering of transparent glass and fluid splash effects in Cinema 4D, which required technical precision and experimentation. At the same time, the brand needed to strike a balance between being light-hearted and sophisticated, appealing to a wide range of consumers. Ensuring the visual assets and website performed well across different platforms added another layer of complexity, especially in maintaining consistency in color and layout. Additionally, in a highly competitive beverage market, it was essential to create a visual identity that would distinguish ZIMA from similar products.
Design Solution
To overcome these challenges, I immersed myself in Cinema 4D tutorials and practice sessions, refining techniques for realistic rendering and splash animation. I then translated ZIMA’s brand values into a visual language of vibrant gradients, clean layouts, and energetic compositions. The responsive website was designed with modern UI principles, allowing users to easily explore the product’s flavors and attributes. Together, the imagery, video, and site created a cohesive identity that feels both fun and premium, helping ZIMA stand out in the market
