Task 6 - Cans
- 1. Task 6 – Cans – This was my first design, using the colours that IRN-BRU already use and have used a bold italic font for the name of the drinks then having the slogan written on the back, I would have the nutrition and contents of the drink written on the side. It’s a very basic but clean looking design and would need to add a lot to it but might be good for improvement as there is a lot of different things I could add in to make it look more professional. For my second design I choose a different approached and add a lot more into the can design and looks good and the lightening bolts work well with the slogan that I have included. I have again still stuck to using the same colours as I feel that’s necessary and would be good to see as a final product as it looks good now and with a font specifically chosen from dafont instead of what is on Photoshop I could make the appearance better, I would also include the logo although I’m currently making my own in order to replace it. For this design I decided to show of the colour of the can but include the colours from IRN-BRU and so using this was able to use a slogan I felt appropriate for the design which is ‘STEEL CAN, STEEL ABS’ although because of the constraints and policy’s of making packaging I wouldn’t be able to use this as someone would be able to make a complaint about false claims and could cost a lot of money in order to correct and sort the problem out. The font I have chosen is okay and works well for the boldness of the drink as it’s a very bold text as it is and almost looks like army writing which makes the number ‘32’ look good. This design is very basic again and would be good for improvement and development but would have to choose a good font that works well with the can and the style that I have chosen for this particular can. To make this can my own I would make my own logo that IRN-BRU currently use and take one myself in order for it to be more of my design but I would use that on any of the cans I take forward for developing.
- 2. I have chosen to stick to this can as it was my favourite and I have edited since I first started it I have changed the blue and added a shadow effect to make it look more curved to the can and makes the blue stand out more I have also changed the text used for ‘IRN-BRU’ and have changed the colour of 32 to be the same as the slogan that I have used.
