Daily 365: Bay Leaf

Amy Lamp — Wed, 03 Mar 2010 05:25:06 +0000

Kim Stearns created the name and tagline for this soap and suggested a utilitarian, bare-bones approach for the look. I rarely design with yellow so I thought that would be fun to play with. And the yellow combined with the grey felt utilitarian and straight-forward. Since it’s called Bayson, I used a bay leaf for the scent.

Daily 365: Saguaro

This is a collage began with a closeup photo of lichen on rocks I shot while hiking. I’m really interested in the way lichen appears on rocks.

The sky is built from a paintbrush stroke in Illustrator and a cloud brush from Photoshop, and the sun is a fill texture from Photoshop.

The saguaro is built with the pen tool and a burlap texture.

“Hana” is Japanese for “flower”.

Daily 365: Tea Leaves

Jeremy Higdon supplied the name and tagline for this tea. Rime is

an accumulation of granular ice tufts on the windward sides of exposed objects that is formed from supercooled fog or cloud and built out directly against the wind

I wanted the area with the name to be warm and cozy in contrast to the cold background.

Daily 365: Vine

No real goals with this one, it’s just a study in line patterns. I think it has an 80s vibe.

Daily 365: Grape Vine

Amy Lamp — Sat, 20 Feb 2010 05:17:05 +0000

Kim Stearns created the name and tagline for this wine and suggested we go for a spunky vibe. I don’t remember seeing a wine label sandblasted onto the bottle, so that’s the effect I was going for here. The bright orange label would be screenprinted on with opaque ink, and the inspiration was tattoos. The hanging label around the neck is like an accessory for the bottle and felt youthful to me.
