A restaurant I am affiliated with started doing liquor infusions. By law the rebottled liquor needed to be meticulously labeled. I offered my services in designing a label for the bottles. I wanted customization to be focal point in this design. The important information is clearly outlined along with some refining for a unique look. We took it a step […]
After my professor saw all of my personal work in class, I was assigned a Roanoke Night life promotional design. It could either be a postcard design or a horizontal poster design. I had to research what would bring people downtown to enjoy what the evening has to offer. More importantly I had to figure out what downtown at night […]
