New Vodka Label

After I had done my vodka label and bottle, I was unsure if i liked it that much, and i thought the bottle took away from the label and the brief was to create a label not a bottle. After some feed back i was given the idea of creating my own ice cubes but placing letters into them, such as "Vv" so that it would add in more text to my origanal idea.
Below is a combined page with photos of the steps i took to create my own ice cubes, i found this fun and interesting but was hard to take photographs of the ice, because the frosen ice covered the letters and it was hard to see them, but i took the photos and some came out well.

I then tried to create a 2d/3d image in photoshop and below is a new bottle shape, less eyecatching i think to my first option but thats to make the label more attractive. I keep to a simple label as i wanted the bottle to still be frosted, so below is the label and the 2d attempt of the new bottle. I included the new ice cubes with the letters aswell.
           



Below is a attempt at creating it in 3D max, but i still didnt find it attracting, i thought it was took bulky and not eyecatching, this was probly i couldnt get the ice cubes to look real enough. 

My next option was to create the bottle out of letters, so that it would involve typography more. I had did a sketch and below I tried to create it on the computer in photoshop, but it doesnt really work that well, but i thought the sketch and idea was good. 

 

I still couldn be satisfied with the bottle or label so after looking at some more research i can up with this simple shape of a bottle, and added a frosted effect to give it more realistic look. I also replaced the postion and placed a few small one in the bottle near teh top of the bottle. I also malipulated the label a bit, because the original label wasnt very satisfiying on the new bottle, so i took parts of the original label and created a simplier label. the back is still the same as the original bottle and a image of this is below.

Finaly satisfied with the design, i created some advertisments for the new vodka label and a new packaging. Although it may not be as apleling as the other ideas, i thought simpliar may be better.

    

News paper/ Magazine spread

Our brief was to create a newspaper spread populating on the storires, events, interviews, photogrphy that we do each day. The photos that we use, should be first hand phototgrapny and the headings/subheadings optiond should relate to story.

Research
After researching newspapers on the internet i discovered some kind of interesting newspapers.

     
    

I also took some photos of newspapers from home to give me a better understanding of the number of coulums used and the layout of images.

 

 

I did some rough sketches of the layout designs below and some topic ideas

After some development I researched magazines and fashion magazines as i found these were more appling and more creative to me, i thought they focused mainly on the type and images although i had looked at the idea of the newspaper with column and headings. Below is research I done of magazines and some images i took myself.

             

My own photos:

Below are some thumbnail drawings of ideas i had for my newspaper and magazine. I'd thought of travel and fashion as i had done alot of travling and was always interested in fashion. But as i sketched more i decided to keep it all fashion.






Finaly this is my final magazine spread. I wasn't sure which one to use as my final so this is both of them, there is only a slight change in the colours. I think I prefer the first one, but decided to leave the second one up too.
