Salsa | Website Thumbnails



Not only are we designing labels for the Salsa company we did the logos for we are also designing a website for the company TOO. My thumbnails were all based on a pretty square format of how the page would be layed out. Though my main concern of how the website would be to look the labels and tie in nicely with everything. My comp is going to look similar to the middle image, but with the nice curly brackets on the side instead of the top. I took elements that I used in my labels but I am still thinking of how the website will look with colors and what kind of background or no background at all. I am going to have to sit and ponder those. I will update with my comp sometime during the weekend or next week.

Sketch Book | Drawing Three

I actually did this one a while back in this semester. This idea popped right into my head so I decided to sketch it out. Not the most original idea but I had fun drawing it out. It really was just spontaneous and I like that sometimes. I also was experimenting with texture using a micron pen.

Sketch Book | Drawing Two

This little doodle just came out of nowhere. I began with the bottom part of the Light Bulb which I didn't actually plan it to be a light bulb. I like to call this my "intuitive drawing". So this is where I like to just start drawing without an object of what I want to draw. All I really have an object for is random shapes, then I'll stop and imagine what it might be a part of or what feels right. In this instance it looked like the bottom of a light bulb and thats what I made it. I with things like this and other doodles I like to add a little saying that might hint a more underlying factor to the create some mystery to the drawing. For this one I put "had any good ones today?" I will let you try and figure that out on your own.

Sketch Book | Drawing One

This is going to be the start of some weekly updates with doodles I do during free time, class time, or when I am feeling a little creative.

This all started with a very little cursive writing of the word crab that was placed in between little brackets that was inside some of my class notes. I liked the little thing so much I made it biggger with a little Crab guy and added a little word "yum". After who doesn't like crab.

Salsa Packaging | Label

Mi Madre's Salsa Label. I am pleased with the way it came out and can't wait to work on the other labels for class. Of course the colors will be different, and some of the little element of the front of the the label will change with the flavors and temperatures of the salsa.

LOGO | Reworked and Finished


Worked on the type and made it look better. Enjoy!

Salsa Packaging Thumbs | Mi Madre's Kitchen



Here are my Thumbnails for my Salsa Packaging project from typography class. I think I am going to enjoy do this packaging and of course I have to include the logo I did for Mi Madre's Kitchen.

So this is close to being done. I have to work on the letter spacing and sizing a little bit more. I will post the revised one soon.
