"Export As" Craft Beer Brand

about

The objective for this project was to develop an original craft beer brand with an established style and target demographic to facilitate sales for the brand. The concept that I created is called "Export As" and is intended to be an "in-joke" within the design community as exporting your project is typically the final step of the design process. The different flavours of the brand are titled with different file extensions.

challenge

The primary challenge was coming up with a consistent design across each label while still distinctly differentiating each flavour. The label design revolves around the planning stage of the design process and features many organic, hand-drawn lines and sketches, as well as micrographics of common keyboard characters to fill in the white spaces. Each can has a different variation of sketches as well as a different colour scheme.

result

Export As finalized as a cohesive brand targeted towards creatives. The label features an abstract design with lots of easter eggs to ensure customers spend lots of time looking at the label. The aspect of this project that I enjoyed the most was being able to experiment with a concept that existed in a WIP stage the entire way through. The aesthetic of planning and note-taking is something not often used for a final product, but it worked well in this case.
