Initial Beer page layout. super simple; the name of the beer, a description and a flanking picture. as you scroll down more beers will pop up. right now ive deleted the backgrounds so theres a more uniform look, but once all the characters have finalized designs ill put them back. ideally by launch ill have images for I cant believe its not flan porter, lightness monster, khenghis kahn, barrbados cheries aged russian, etc. maybe clicking on the beer sends you to a full bottle picture if available, or just the full label/sticker/what have you art work. also the double flank on the dr.jekyll/mr.hyde would be unique to that brew. I'll be working on the mock-ups for the homepage soon, which'll just serve as a small intro and blog. so for that mock up ill probably just cut and past from your old blog to fill it out. then i'll be doing the 'about us' page. which i'll need a few pics for but i'll let you know. once we have all the pages set up, we can make any aesthetic changes you'd like before actually constructing them.

Jekyll/Hyde


Take on The Jekyl Hyde Beer label idea. Still kind of a young idea, with a rough color job. Id like to put  a cool boarder around the figure to flank it from both sides, also the words black and tan respectively in a curvey cursive font. also i'd like to make the font for the characters a bit more dynamic.  as you can see, the basic idea is kind of based on an old vlad the impaler idea, where he was a mirror imaged torso. herre i plan to add some shading to both the figure in the light and the one in the shadow so they both really pop out. i've started doing this with the dr.jekyll character in the shadows for the Mr.hyde label, but id like to bring out a few more highlights. the characters end up looking like weird tentically squids made p of each others 'duality'. also ofcoarse each label for theee beers the characters are holding will star the opposite character so they're both present. let me know what you think, agaiin, its still rough but i think it'd make an interesting label
