Packaging Creations

These are the three packages that we had to recreate, it would have been a lot harder if we had to do every single bit by ourselves. You just don't realise what lengths some people will go to in creating and marketing packaging. There is a great deal and thought that goes into a layout and design of each package.





Volunteer Poster - Illustrator

This is the first in a series of posters that Luke has asked us to create, I didn't want to use any images for this one because I thought that the use of type alone would possibly be more powerful, maybe the use of different type would make this better.

Pumpkin Patch - InDesign



With this I wanted to create a separate page for both genders, keeping the softer colours for the girls and the blues for the boys, it probably needs a bit more work as these pages should have been made with facing pages.
It was good using the gap tool and the cutting out tool, it was so much easier than using the pen tool to cut around the shapes.

Typography exercise - In Design



I was using transparencies to create this bit of typography, I wanted to keep the design simple and try to fit the word typography into a rectangle shape.

Playing with gradients



I was playing with gradients, trying to change the direction and control the colour.

Soda Logos


These are some of the designs that I came up with for the soda logo, the first ones I went for a bit of fun, then the others I tried playing with different letters and adding bits and pieces here and there, some I just liked the way the font looked, different colours would also change the style of the finished logos.

Red Wine Label


This is my finished wine label, the colours on the screen are a lot better than the finished product as per usual. Maybe the colours need to be toned down but hey it works for me.
