Thread: Project by a noob!

Hi guys

A few of you may have seen my introduction on the, well, intro section of the forum and will know my story. But for those not in the know, here's the gist: drinking, time wasted, career change, self-teaching.

Trying to involve as much of what I have taken in on my self-teaching crusade, I produced a hopefully-passable "project" for a beverage packaging design concept (I'm working through a book called the "Graphic Design Exercise Book").

I appreciate all constructive comments, no matter how cutting or scything they may be!

Thanks in advance - we learn from mistakes, as the popular adage goes!

Just to add, I do intend to take up a course in graphic design, the problem is finding a suitable course for my current situation. So don't expect to find any design-related structure to the piece - as I said, I have taken what I have picked up in my short amount of self-teaching period. Thanks again!

Not much to add in the way of critique: think you've done a great job.

Agree with above, like the logo but feel it works best positioned vertically, doesn't work for me horizontally.

Yeah - that too.

Think it looks lovely, particularly when the texture of the material comes through.

I like the clean style of it, has a retro feel but with a modern take; I like it.

Very good - like it... as Boss says logo works better vertically. Certainly fulfills the brief. And I like the box design!!

I didn't like the logo when I first saw it because it was horizontal, but vertically I think it works brilliantly. Loving the pulpy stock too :D

I think it looks very good, well done. My only slight niggle is when I just glance at it I read the logo as GOC rather than GOOD but that's just me

Well done :icon_thumbup:

I think you've got a good project, and would recommend you think about continuing down that self-teaching route with your design whilst you're on your course. Get taught, and teach yourself as well. The combination gets you very far.

Nice work!
