Graphic Design Journey

I continued working on my digital materials. I will create a physical poster in 60s style. To get inspiration I used poster by artists in my previous research. I realises, that I did not have enough skills to create a poster like that, so I learnt from YouTube tutorials. It took me a few days to understand how does it work in Photoshop. As I have the newest version of software, it was quite hard to follow all the information fron tutorials, as videos were 8 years old. But I still learnt a lot. There is the whole process of creating a poster. I got inspired by poster by Wes Wilson.  Grateful Dead, Junior Wells Chicago Blues Band, The Doors, January 13-15, Fillmore Auditorium  by Wes Wilson. © Wes Wilson. Image courtesy the  Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco . I took the style of text - it is very distorted and curved. I used waves and shapes in my project.  Colours which I used are from Bob Dylan poster I showed in my previous post.  According to the tutorial vi...

Having my logo done, labels for back and front I tried to find a please where I can get it printed. I had a look online, but most of complaints print in 100 or 200 amount, some of them could print what I want but it was very expensive. I went ti the print workshop, and tried to find help, a man from workshop helped me. The way how we could realize it: if I print my labels on a normal paper and after stick the sticky paper on the top of it, so basically I invite stickers. Also the reason why I can’t print it online, because they have only templates for sizes and shapes. But I need custom size.  So, with this idea I went to the Adobe Illustrator tutorial on YouTube and watched a lot of videos how to prepare materials for print. First of all the whole document should be in CMYK colour scheme. Secondly, all the fonts should be converting to the outlines. The size of my each art board should be exactly the same size as I need it printed, otherwise I got a bad quality.  In addition,...

 Searching for a lables for toiletries products, I looked at my shampoo at home, and found out what information I need.  For the back label I needed: country, contacts, ingredients, recycle sign, barcode, caution and directions. I wrote down all this information and created a label for my product.  The idea of a label is that I will use a large butterfly as a background (you can see that from the inside). And on the top of that I will stick the back label.  For the main label I used logo, name of a product, purpose and size.  I used few different fonts, as I was inspired by products in my previous posts.  Bottle I used Unbounded, ITC, and Garger. I chose these fonts, because they work together in a good and attractive way, the second one is italic, the last one is very sophisticated and it relates to my idea.  In my next post I will show more digital materials, which I am working on.  REFERENCES

My subject area is graphic design, but working on a major project I faced with a product design, which I had never done before. I had a chance to use new skills which I found.  The part of my project is to make a box for my products. The final outcome will include 3 bottles which I have already bought in the shop. I tried to find unique and old fashioned bottles. I went to the town and looked at some shops. I had a thought to buy it on Amazon but they all look modern and do not really express idea of mine. These are bottles I bought.   I had to take off the labels, so I put bottles into the water and let them be there for a bit, after took labels out.  Having bottled done, I started a project of my box, I have been inspired by some Versace products and how it looks from the inside.  The sketch of my box looks like that.  I started from measuring. Using cutting mat, pencil and paper I started a sketch.  Understanding that bottles should be inside of the...
