The beer label was a project in which I was provided a beer and brewing company name and had to work around that. I was given Shipwrecked by Black Pearl Brewing. My ultimate goal was to create something dark, and give it a more pirate-esque feel. I chose to focus on the most identifiable part of a shipwreck, the treasure. I then created a background story for the design that says the recipe for this Imperial Stout was the ultimate treasure found in the chest lost in the shipwreck of the great Blackbeard. After working with instructors I decided to expand on my work and even go a different route with it. I used the same general feel to create that 4 bottle series while using things such as map textured paper, black/brown bottles, and even built my own wood crate carrier.
