Project 1 - Revisions

I was trying to think of a way to unify the entire design into a single functioning piece. What I came up with is a sort of thin filament between the label design and the illustration that goes over the cap. At the same time, I thought of a way to apply an actual function to the thin filament and use it as a way to lift the entire tab over the bottle, with a little arrow on there that would almost say "lift here."











Here is an alternate design for the tab itself.

I like your second set because it leaves more negative space than set 3 and I also like the color you choose, red, yellow and blue this three color makes customer easy to identify the different flavors. nice type

hmm...is the only difference for the second tab a smaller arrow?

I like that they are solid colors and that you broke away from imagery altogether..

By using solid colors they'll be easy to distinguish and will definetely stand out.

Legoman said...

Actually, they're shaped differently, that's really the only difference.

I like it! Everything! I liked it from the first moment I saw your designs! It's not complex yet very strong. I like the top set better (with the simple angle edge), it creates more energy in graphic composition. The idea with an arrow... not sure, I think it's unnecessarily. Looks really-really good!

I really like your design. It is very clean and sophisticated and it definitely catches my eye. It is a huge improvement from the original design stoli has. Great colors and movement. Interesting idea with the label and arrow but I am not sure if thats really necessary.

Overall looks good, easy to differentiate the flavors and read what it is. I think the first set would look better once that filament thing is removed. The sharp angle is more dynamic and simple.

I like these a lot, they look really clean and the colors make it stand out.
I like the tab that compliments the arrow shape more, I think its the one on top. I think this one accents the upward motion more than the bottom one.

I like the first one, but it kinda bothers me that the angle on the A doesn't match the angle of the label. Also, I feel the arrow is not necessary.

DEADMUNDO said...

Well, i like the way you chose to fix the "problem" looks good!

personally i would go with the first one, the ones with the diagonal slant. Only thing i would fix is the opacity of the red and orange because the arrow and colors are almost lost in between the labels.

i think the first set works better but I keep looking at the space between the A and the sharp angle. Maybe you can make the angle match the angel of the A. Also, I'm not seeing how the Arrow and the tab works.. because the cork is in so deep, the person trying to open this would have to tug very hard on the tab... Unless thats what you want?

I like it, I liked that you got away from imagery altogether. From the photo's it is difficult to see any difference between the designs, but they look good. I like the color, because it gives a strong recognition to flavor. If I was going to change anything I would lose the arrow. I think it looks more sophisticated without the arrow.

Hedyeh said...

Well done. I like the diagonal ending of the label instead of the curve you had before. It looks more high end. In my opinion, the overall design works. I like the colors and the balance of the bottle with the labels. The labels are at a good size. They are not too big to cover the entire bottle and not too small not to be able to see. The image is very small, and I can't read the type. But I'm sure that's also well designed.

NickP said...

Although the angled cut conveys Russian constructivism, I still think the rounded end was a better choice. The rounded end acts in harmony with the round seal that the strip leads to. Other than that your design is solid.

their both very good but for some reason i like the first set better i don't know what it is it just draws me more. the colors are very nice and look great against the frosted glass. very nice.

They're both good, but I like the 1st one better with the angled line, looks interesting and cleaner.

dcortez8 said...

wow pretty great..its very graphic and eye catching. very interested to see how this looks when built. Maybe play with the color a little bit. is it wrong to steal that idea where the color is on the bottom of the bottle too

Yor53 said...

i like the first set it have very sharp edge when looking at it. the color is great too. great design from the start to finish

Jessica said...

I think it's a nice and clean solution. I'm wondering what the purpose of the arrow is though...

The two are very similar but I am leaning towards set 1, the angled edge helps it flow with the design of the rest of the bottle whereas set 2 kind of divides it.

Helou said...

I don't know where the difference is between the two, but they look really great. The design is very neat and sophisticated. Good color choices.

I think what you have is great so far. I agree with Irina though, I don't think the arrow is necessary. =)

wow thats a cool idea man. i wouldn't have thought of something like that. pull tab would be easier on the second version since its straight up and down but i guess thats something you'll get from production.
seams like you know what you have to do, so do it to it. good stuff

John M. said...

I like the first version better. the different angle on the "A" and the color block don't bother me. and it seems like a cleaner look than the second

Carla said...

I must agree, I like the first one. Clean, sharply defined edge. Good

I like your design, color palette, and font choice.
The only thing that is bothering me is the flavor on the bottom - Because you already have "vodka" on the vertical label, you don't necessarily need "vodka" next to the flavor's name.
