Package Design: Savanna Pale Ale

For the past few weeks I have been trying to really invest myself more into the updating of my graphic design portfolio. And for the most part doing so has been a lot of fun. I just finished this as well as a few t-shirt designs and a few other things that are now officially added to my portfolio. Not to mention the list of more things I plan on adding in the coming weeks. This sort of work tends to go quite a bit faster for me then illustration so even though I have sketches for a new piece or two, I am choosing to wait until after I have added all the things I have already planned for. I should get around to cleaning up some rough sketches for those new pieces though.

So illustration aside, what do you think of the Savanna branding/packaging? I kinda love the whole pakaderm family so I like to through them in when I can haha.

Ready for Directions?

No! But I'll still show up and see how I do...Directions is a networking event that Columbus College of Art & Design plans each year for the graduating seniors. And although I only post the fun and exciting illustration side to my life, I have an entire graphic design portfolio to assemble! I need to get to work...

Web Portfolio Update:

After trying to figure out how to update the website that i built while in a class, I realized that I would never update the work because of how much work it was. So after really thinking about it, I decided to switch to a website called Squarespace.com. It's a hosting site with templates you can alter and it has made the maintenance of the site piratically effortless. Take a peak! it's attached the website link on the side bar.

Who wants a Promo Mailer !?

If your seriously interested, then fair warning, these are not yet in production. But if you leave me a message ill be sure to get one to you. This first color one is the replacement color idea for my failed "color postcard" attempt. The lower card is the final B&W postcard design. The back was a simple and clean enough layout that I figured it wasn't really necessary to post it. This one will most likely not make it to production at all... Next stop, online portfolio redesign! I'm pretty sure my to-do list is growing not shrinking...

Shamless Self Promotion!

Well, It's been longer then I would like since i posted last, but hang tight! More is coming your way. These are some concept designs for some Self Promotional postcards for my big dramatic send off as soon as possible. This first card will be in color and the second one will be finished in black and white. The back of each card will just be finished off with a simple black and white graphic treatment with my current branding. Stay tuned for more finished work posted and the follow up on the postcards.

Also, These are fairly nailed down mock-ups but suggested tweaks for better compositions for each of the 6 sections are always welcome. Thanks.
