Shipyard Pumpkinhead Ale 6 Pack

Finally constructed it, really like how it turned out. Plan on touching it up in photoshop and adding bottles to it (Just wanted to have a picture up for all to see).

Postmodern Poster

I had trouble coming up with some ideas with my quote. I wanted to be colorful and vibrant but also wanted to bring photos in (like a lot of examples I saw). When thinking of great things (such as great design) I thought of Einstein because he had done so many great things so I brought a picture of him. I'm not in love with this, but don't hate it for my first attempt at postmodern. The thing I realized it looks like two different pieces mashed together especially with the green acting as a barrier. This is something I plan on going back and playing with.

Modernism / Postmodernism

Our final project of the class was to illustrate both modernism and postmodernism through a quote. I have two versions of my modernism and am currently finishing up my postmodernism poster (sick the week before finals). It took me a while to decide on what quote I was going to use, I had a bunch of different quotes down, but came down to two different quotes.

This one is a quote I like because I like modernism style. I think it shows it pretty well. I liked this quote better and decided to make the postmodernism poster based on this quote. 

I like this quote and tried to make it almost look like Good design = good business. I wanted the is to sort of turn into a =. I also used helvetica font because it is a business formal font. 

Finals!

So the semester is coming to a close and with that I'm posting up my last bits of work for my Advance Graphic Publication Design class. Here is my independent project, she wanted something simple that got the point across for her foundation of Lets Rock and Roll for breast cancer. She had a brochure already done, but it was poorly done and had a lot of mistakes and things difficult to read. I went in and changed things around and came up with this.

***Please note the black box will be a photo of my client and the cover will have text above the logo, awaiting both areas from my client. I will repost when I have the information. Also I know there is a set of ( ) because her old lettering was incorrect and put a box. Awaiting confirmation on the letter.***

I am happy with how smooth it went. A lot easier to read than the old brochure, so I think she'll be happy with it. 

Thanksgiving Break

Back from break and we know have two weeks to get our projects done! I have two remaining projects the modern and post modern project and the independent project. I plan on finishing the independent project first, I am going to be working on redesigning and brochure for Cancer fundraiser known as Lets Rock and Roll for a Cure. I'm excited to get working and complete this project!

Shipyard Redesign

I finished redesigning the label, box and logo for the Shipyard Pumpkin head ale. Overall I am happy with how it turned out. I will be getting it printed onto and constructing the 6 pack box, but I lost my flash drive (luckily I saved all my work on the computers) so I wont be getting it printed till later this week come pay day.

Here is what an earlier version of the logo I had in mind, but ultimately ended up changing it because of the background. They didn't work well together and went and changed things up. 

 This is the side of the six pack box.

This is the labels and cap for the actual bottle.





















This will be the front of the six pack box.














This is a close up of the label.











Overall I am happy with how it turned out. I tried to chance and improve the logo with the horse but keep similar things so that it didn't stray away completely from the original (the head, drink, and the word). I feel the horse and the man on the horse is a better upgrade and I think the background gives it a more halloween feel. This is a seasonal beer and wanted to reflect that in the piece.

Redesign

So far been working on my redesign project and I'm liking how its turning out. This is my progress on the logo itself so far. I plan on going back and painting more colors so its not a flat color for each piece. Think this will make it look even nicer. I need to change how the cape and the horses tail because it is distracting like that. I also am going to play with the location of the text and everything. Note there will be a mug in the pumpkinheads hand. Once this is completed I can attach it to the bottle and 6 pack design I have been working on (on my home computer so I don't have an image to upload. Those are located at a dock with a boat (similar to the shipyard normal beer logo) pulling in. There is a halloween scene with ghost, ghouls and creatures all about.
