Project- you must design a logo/label that follows the following guidelines for a new kind of non-alcoholic beverage and adhere it to a can, bottle or box.

 

Your label must:
1. SELL- yes, it actually would sell if it was put on the market today.

2. Be a non-alcoholic beverage (pop, tea, juice, coffee, milk, etc.), no beers, coolers or???

3. Be able to be read from all angles, (3-D).

4. Include interesting artwork (abstract, geometric or realistic). This artwork can be
free-hand drawn (computer), scanned or from the web.

5. Include lettering (font) that fits your beverage, (ex. Ice cold= icy lettering). This lettering can be free-hand drawn (tutorial), scanned or from the web.

6. Be completed, entirely done on the computer.

 

You must include:

  1. logo for your beverage- not just a name, but more!
  2. color- check your color handout for suggestions
  3. a slogan or jingle
  4. your personal logo, reduced in size
  5. the ingredients of your beverage, an UPC code symbol (Barcode ) & recycling information (recycling logo)

 

Remember your label must be glued to some type of container (3-D), you must provide the container!
This project is very 3-D.

Ok, you have your ideas, now what? You need to start collecting parts- backgrounds, font, object, shapes, etc.
Where can you find this stuff?
Mr. V's Favorites-
Fonts- FlamingText.com
Backgrounds- Finla
My Super Reference Site- Reference Page for CG
Find all of your parts and begin to assemble-

  1. Begin work on your label-
    If each cell (1/3 of label) is going to be the same, work in a 4”x 2.75” page.
    Once this cell is completed copy and paste (x2) to a 4” x 8.75” page- this will fit a regular sized pop can. (pepsi)
     If you are using a different dimension container, you will need to alter your dimensions!
  2. No white backgrounds-use gradients or backgrounds

 

 

Included are a dimension sheet and a rubric for grading!
Have fun and be creative!
