Yep, another silly drink label. But at least this time I’ve given you a bit of a twist and plastered it on a virtual bottle to give you an idea of what it might look like in use, in real life. The 3D mapping feature of Illustrator is a pretty cool thing to play with, even though my rather poor efforts only hint that the bottle might be made of glass.
And the hits just keep on comin’. Another label, this one a bit on the fringe of sanity, but I like the way the color came out here. A bit of a feathery background, and the corny triple nibblet accent at the top add to the fun farm/fowl theme. ‘Double Rectified’ is a nod to John Wayne’s Rooster Cogburn character and his white lightning description. I’m not quite sure what it means, if anything, but it sounded good, so I used it.
It’s been awhile since I’ve created any labels, and this one has been stuck in my head for a bit, so I decided that it was finally time to purge my brain. Although I think I’m about out of alcoholic drinks to create, as this one shows, there’s certainly no shortage of other products that can be tooned and labeled.
Another quick post with another icon for the iPhone game.
Another quick post to showcase an icon from the iPhone game I’m assisting with. Created in Illustrator from start to finish.
One of the projects I’m working on at the moment is an iPhone game, programmed by an independent developer. Below is one of the icons I banged out, uncharacteristically by Wacom tablet alone, no ink and paper version. The color was added via Illustrator and I’ve added the space background for this post. It won’t appear in the game version.
Here is the finished fish sketch from a few posts back. I’ve taken the hook out to make him a bit more versatile and useful to a wider audience once I get him on my website pages and available for download. The color for this one was added in Illustrator.
Illustrator and type go hand in hand. But the wealth of options available for using and abusing type within Illustrator is daunting to say the least. Here is a good look at nearly all of those options.
The artists at Wiz Studios will be a bit busy for the next couple of weeks, so we’ll be linking to a few tutorials like this one, that we find interesting and useful on the web tubes. This short tutorial shows how to make a pattern like the one shown below.
It’s getting to be that time of year… the time of year that I get all sorts of requests for BBQ team logos. So I thought I would post another from sketch to finished color art. This one was colored in Illustrator rather than Photoshop because these types of illustrations are usually intended for t-shirts, aprons and trucks.
