A really good project by Amanda Bradley found on behance, its actually a very simple design but its so precisely  laid out it has a very classy feel to it. I wonder how long it took to design because in a way its very simple, I would love to be able to just knock out stuff like this!

Bottle design

I got a bit bogged down in my Glava brief so I went to look again at some existing designs. I originally looked at spirit and mixer bottles but the best design by far is for wine bottles and in some ways are far more relevant to my brief. Wine bottles are often aimed at the same consumers I am aiming at (25-35 social and with cash to spare). The bottles also have a classy but often experimental look to them that I want to capture, spirit based drinks look cheap and trashy by comparison.

As you can see I am drawn to the more typographical designs with bold simple graphics, and it is this last one that intrigues me the most as I was experimenting with an idea like this yesterday but it came to nothing, I will have another go because it can clearly be made to work.
