Finding the Right Style

Sometimes the client may THINK they have an idea of what they want, but then they see what they REALLY want.

 As the designer, I oftentimes have an idea for what style a label should have based on the property that the amenity bottles are being customized for. I check out the web site,  photos of the property,  and learn a bit about a place to determine what direction I'd like to go to for the label design.  Earlier this year,  we were asked to make 16 oz glass pump dispenser bottles with a black and white "minimalist" design for an incredible Alaskan lodge. Surrounded by wilderness and wildlife, a trip to this place promised adventure and nature in the raw right outside the doors of the property's charming bungalows. 

    After trying hard to stick to the minimalist idea, I felt the label needed some natural elements. I created a couple of designs that had the minimalism the client was asking for,  but "threw in" a couple more that had natural elements that I thought suited their property. One was the design I thought the property needed--a grayscale design featuring layers of trees receding into mist (far right).

And she went for it! (I love it when a plan comes together.)

Creating the right branded bottles is an iterative process. I never know what a client is going to think of my designs. Some just love one right off the bat, others require some back and forth, and new, fresh ideas. I love the satisfaction of knowing when they are all done and the bottles are all labeled and packed for shipping, that the client is going to love them.
