Lobster

An Art Jumble lobster i recently finished. Theme was "Food comes to life" i guess in this case the food came back to life.

Box Design

Each artist at work had to design a box. Basically it was a tissue box they were going to fill with tickets and give to distributors free of charge. They wanted a generic theme and they wanted a name to accompany it. When it was pitched to us the phrase "advancing the business" as well as "the future of dispensing tickets" was repeated numerous times. Soooo I went with a futuristic theme. Ive always really liked the "retro future" - what people in the 50's and 60's visualized as the future. A little Jetsons with rocket ships. One of the best interpretations of this I have seen recently was in the movie The Incredibles. The environments and overall designs/concepts/themes for that movie were really well done. Right up my alley. If its your cup of tea too, I HIGHLY suggest checking out Art of the Incredibles. As for the name "Box -o- Dough" I thought it had that retro future feel to it. Besides our company has had the tag "Jar -o- Dough" for literally 50+ years. This being one of my few attempts at package design I really wanted to focus on making all sides flow together. So the rocket ships trail will match up and look to fly from the left side to the front. The sky lines/clouds should match up, I tried to focus and keep to a color palette, etc. Anyways they seemed to like it, so its gonna be made!! Maybe Ill get my hands on a finished, printed box and post pics.

Soda Jerk

Did this not too long ago. They just wanted an old time soda fountain type guy. Had fun with this. As per the post above I have always really been into all things retro. The 30's-50's especially. So whenever possible, I have liked to get a little retro feel across in my work. At least an "inspired by" feel to it. This one, I thought, got that across fairly well.
