Ponce de limon update

Ponce de limon mock, stil kinda rough. I'd like to add some islands and old-timee boats in the background. also since the water design is very similar to the lightness monsters water design, I'm thinking of putting an easter egg on the label. mainly, one of the lightness monsters flippers peaking out of the water. also those are supposed to be lemons on ponce's spear.

B/T update, etc

an updated image for the new black and tan. basically just adding a bit more umph to the mr.hyde character. for the label design im still working on a way to implement each character in its own label. most of my ideas center around a dr.jekyl label with the doc behind a chemistry set with a sillouette of mr.hyde behind him. and kinda doing the opposite for mr.hyde, with a sillohette of dr.jeklly & a chemistry set behind him.
also, I needed some info on the beers from the list you gave me. looking around other sites they tend to have some of the key ingredients listed, sometimes the kind of hops, malts, yeasts, alchohol content, color, availability, bitterness, and a description of its taste, history/ideation, etc. I'm hoping to make a mock of all the pages we'll need for the site, then we can alter the aesthetics afterwards. so the beer list page and the 'about us' page are first on my list. send me what you can, i'll keep space open for the rest.

Site Mock


Initial site mock up,super simple website but i think its aesthetically pleasing. the light gray box is the body, ofcoarse there would be a scroll bar next to it. whent with the classic logo, refined the beer tap from the altered logo (black and yellow). whent with warm grey colors, i think they look good, thinking about going even warmer. the corners will have a frilly ribbon, to connect the flanking lines on the sides and bottom. the banners a little big, but if the website body is gunna be used as an updating blog, then it should work fine (since the body will be long)

Jekyl Hyde sketches


still pretty rough and streaky (marker sketch), i like the idea of mt.hyde coming out of the doctors body. if we go this rout i'll try to make the hyde character more dynamic with a better sense of movement (more like in the black and white sketch). I've also been thinking of doing a side by side composition, kinda generic and cliche for a jekyl/hyde picture but you cant go wrong with a classic. i like how the doctor looks, still not crazy on hide.

super rough idea for the site banner. everything is still pretty flat, I'd like to go in and add highlight, shadows, etc, maybe even make the letters look kinda shiny like brass. the hook from the 'c' in 'teCh' will probably become the line that makes the "H'
i'd also like to add some hops somewhere. for now i'm using a simple graphic of the tap we used for the shirts. the placement of the tap handle will be key if we decide to go this route. the banner can say anything. below this image we'd have the site buttons. i'd like to set everything up in as few buttons as possibly, fewer pages means we can have it up faster. so i'd say 4 or 5 buttons up top. let me know what you think, this is just a skeleton for the banner image, i think itd be cool if some of the cervetech characters flanked the image at the sides, maybe redone to fit this style. also if we do use the tap, maybe inverting its colors and placing it in an oval shape might work better, make it look less like a pipe from super mario
