finallyyyyyyy......

Finally I got a logo that works...

I might change something but I will work with it!

new label

This is my latest sketch. I took photo 2 years ago and altered color and put some texture.

Linda pointed out that this image looks like a perfume bottle. I agree with her 100%.

I think that I will stick with the water color image that I made before.

prototype 4 and 5

prototype3

prototype2

prototype1

I'm still working on my idea for packaging. I will update them tonight as soon as I can !

inclass project

more sketch

I collect all objects that I might be going to use for the wine project.

I haven't got the bottle yet, and I said that I was going to use the super skinny bottle, but I thought the bottle on the picture looks good with the logo.

logo sketch

I am having a hard time to figure out how I can approach this project. Should I start from logo? package design? bottle research?..........

Anyway, I started with logo. I prefer the top one because it is more pop, and cute looking. But is it too cute for wine...? Wine label can't be too cute? Lots of things that I have to concern about.

sketch for bottle

This is my first idea for the bottle package. i am thinking see-through package and using a super skinny bottle that I found at whole foods. I will work on more sketches in illustrator tonight.

In 2D class

I made this image in 2-D design class almost 2 years ago.., but I still like it!
A cow from a bottle!

sketching for BLOOM

I decided to redesign the wine called " Bloom".

This morning, I bought some water colors and started skecthing.

Here is the pattern that I made. My theme of this pattern is "BLOOM", of course:)
I'm happy how it came out.. I like the fact that each circle has characteristics!!
It's fun to play with water colors once in a while. I love drawing and painting because I feel relaxing when I'm doing it.

I don't know that I am going to use this for my wine project, maybe for a package..? I 'll think about it this weekend.

poor design wine bottle

I went to the liqure store and chose these five POOR design wine bottles. Some of them like dog house and matua is okay, but others are not so attractive.

1. Dog house

This wine is a typical casual wine for younger generations. I like the name of this wine which gives me inspiration for new ideas.

2. Gekkeikan

This is a Japanese sake. I've seen this design for 20 years. I think it is the time for a new look.

3. Bloom

Same as dog house, I love the name of the wine, but I am not sure about the unprofessional illustration on the label.

4. Matua

This is a newzealand wine. I have to say that I am not a big fun of the logo..... I like the bottle color (green) though.


5. Yago

.......what happen to this bottle.... I think this is an eye-catching package but not in a good way.... I thought this was a juice. Sorry to say, but I hate the typeface in here.


I will bring these on Monday with better discriptions.

I have to taste these tonight!

good SAKE bottle reserch

I reserched Japanese sake bottles. Most of the sake bottles and labels' designs are classic and look similar to me. But I found three sake bottles which have modern design.

1. Designed by Tomo Narayoshi.


Japanese call this Sake cup. You can get this size of sake at any stores in Japan. In here, Tomo Narayoshi's illustration made this common sake cute and special. You can use this as a glass after finish drinking sake. I like the box design which shapes a house.

2. Designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro



A italian designer, Giorgetto Giugiaro designed sake bottle with a little sake cup. Very elegant and modern.

3. Design of sake called "Yaoki"



I like the typography in here as well as the bottle design. Yaoki means "8 times up". It came from the saying "seven times down, eight times up". The interesting point is the bottle won't fall even if it is inclined at 45 degree.

Back to the basic

This will be my final!!!!
I retook the image and bring Alaska closer to the main land so that the image is more organized now, I think.
Let's move on to the wine bottle now!

test2

In here, The noodle texts are smaller than the previous test. I think that precious one is more eye catching..but I prefer the image of the latest one.

the lastest poster

Here is what I got so far.

different image

I changed the copy to " United States taste better with VOTE." Is it more clear? or still sound strange to you?

Also, I changed images. Some of my friends point out that I don't need to put Alaska and Hawaii but I want to add them somehow.

Hawaii and Alaska

I added Hawaii and Alaska.

My copy is " This soup(=US) tastes better with the Noodles(=vote)." Does it make sense?? Do you think it is too indirect? If it sounds strange to you, please tell me.

test

I tested how my poster look like in the real situation.....

I will work on composition, typeface for the copy and logo, and image( basically everthing....) more tonight.

more sketches for the poster

More sketches.

I need some good copy for the poster...

new idea!

I need to work on typefaces more, but I like this idea better than tomato soup actually. I think this is cleaner than the one of tomatosoup and has the concept of vote.
