While I was employed at Fresh Produce with the FAMOUS '24 team, we given the opportunity to work with Steve Hartman of Woodgrain Brewing Company. We were tasked with developing a new can labelling system for all of their in-house cans. Something that they could quickly whip together anytime they needed a label for a new brew fast.
A collection of market maps and award-winning designs we analyzed for potential ideas and inspirations
Our main inspirations after talking with Steve a few times was to stay true to Woodgrain's more comfy aspirations. The relationships and stories that came from the usuals at Woodgrain defined our decision to lean towards a "softer" design. This allowed us to capture an experience-focused beverage—a companion to your time with those you cherish.
