Project Description
My ultimate goal was to showcase a brand and design that displayed the three keywords I consider myself being: 'Passionate, Meticulous, and Conceptual.' I wanted to make obvious my scrutiny for detail and give a small nod to what I love designing most, liquor design.Production Lesson(s)
The challenge was the simple fact that this was for my own personal branding and we as designers tend to be our own worst critics. This was going to be something that would represent me on a daily basis so it had to really speak to my skill set. The printing itself was a challenge at first as well. Studio On Fire and myself went back and forth testing the limits of how much detail the gold stamping die could really take without blurring the golds together.
