I really enjoy the color palette on this label, i feel these are difficult colors to work with but this came together really nicely.
ReplyDeletei like this piece but i feel like the guy and the plants next to him is a little to much maybe having either one and then centering what ever one you choose would give it a little more breathing room. also the typeface at the bottom brown strip i feel could be something less playful maybe like a geramond or times new roman or even the font used on the nutrition facts list
ReplyDeleteI think the color palette allows for a high amount of contrast that creates the focal image of the man, then the food illustrations. I am also assuming that this goes on a circular bottle rather than a square because i think the circle gradient behind the man and the circular arch at the top of Jeshua's really adds to the shape in which it is placed on the bottle (if that makes sense) I think it contributes the the success of the label.
ReplyDeleteYes - the bottle is round, and the portrait (my client) is also a Hollywood actor of some repute (day time TV). That's why we decided to use his likeness. Thanks for the thoughts everyone.
