Packaging Design - Makers & Co

The purpose of this project for the ILLU-505 Influences in Illustration class at SCAD was to research some of our favorite artists and recreate one of their projects using our unique style and concept.  We also explored why we selected the artists and their influence on our work in a written component.  Inspired by the detailed yet informative pieces from the artists I presented, I decided to recreate a beautiful, nature-oriented label for Makers & Co. that Lisel Ashlock initially designed.  While her style was more realistic and featured many more elements in one composition, I highlighted a more painterly style with simplicity and feeling.  This created more focus on the hummingbird, which was utilized in the company's branding.
