Oh Roy Cola!

MagicToaster

I have to hand this in some days from now. I had to choose an art movement and make a sort of omage for it. Naturally I took the one that I could somehow turn into advertisement.

No, seriously... Roy Litchenstein painted things that replicated machine mass produced products which we as consumers... consume, I guess. Well, I turned his beautiful work into another kind of consumable good mass produced by machines.



Everything is still editable so any feed back is greatly apreciated.

Haha nice. So it's mean to wrap around a can I presume? Although, should it also have a product name there somewhere, or is it kinda a mix between art/packaging, and a product name isn't necessary? I really can't think of any crits really... it's eye catching, and has that cool retro feel to it. I like it :^:

PS: in the ingredients section you spelt company "companay"

MagicToaster

Ugh! I mostly get typing mistakes as crits on my threads.

I'll get on those right away. Also, the name of the soda is 'Oh Roy'. I don't think that's comming across clear enough. I should re work the positioning.

If you put that little copyright c or trademark r right after the exclaimation point than maybe it would be a little more clear that thats the title.

I like it Toaster, I think Lichtenstien (or whatever) is a little overrated, but his stuff always ends up entertaining me.

Since this label wrapping around a can, I'd think you'd want to make the objects on the label match up. For instance, the quarter-circle that has 11.27 fl oz, etc., in it will be met with the bottom of the ingredients list. And the girl's backside of her head will be cut off at the same place. I just wonder if you want an abrupt EDGE to your label, or if you want it to flow all around, so that the consumers can look at it in any direction and say "that's Oh, Roy Cola."

Huge mistake on my behalf. I'm working on a second version with another image where the figure actually wraps around the can.

I'd like to see if I can figure out how this hair is supposed to look around the back so I can draw it and have it wrap around nicely.

Thanks for pointing out this HUGE mistake.

MagicToaster

I made a second version using another image. I addressed the issue of the image wrapping around the label. I'm gonna hand both in.



What do you think?

You addressed the wraparound issue, and I think this girl looks a bit more appropriate in style... but I don't understand the image. It looks like someone being told they have diabetes or something, and doesn't really match up with the speech bubble. If I saw a can with that on it, I would probebly stare at it a few seconds with a puzzled look on my face.

Most commercialized images I've ever seen have smiling people. It would be weird to buy captain crunch for example, have the captain frowning, or crying or something. I would expect the "happy homemaker" routine moreso from a 60's 70's style theme, but to be fair, I wasn't alive then so I'm not positive.

I do like the face better than the old one. Oh and the hand holding the phone looks a little off. Something is weird with the palm, and the pinky knuckle joint looks bent too far. Without forcing it with the other hand, I can't bend that first joint much at all past a 90 degree angle.

The lips-

On most lips, where the upper and lower lip's ends taper out will typically not meet at the same point.

I can do it, but then there isn't room for a phone between the finger and the palm. The palm deforms as the joint folds; the mass of the hand is on the face of the palm, between the joint and the phone.

This looks pretty cool, I like the style, but it makes no sense. The voice bubble is what really gets me.

The girl's mouth is closed, indicating that it is not her speaking. This assumption is supported by the fact that her hand is covering the phone. The next logical step is that she is listening in on a private conversation, which would make sense, except that the baloon is pointing away from the phone. The only logical conclusion is that the pixie, who lives in the woman's ear, just barely hidden below her hairline, is also listening in and decided to throw in his two cents.

Not really. I just can't belive that you would shortchange people almost an entire 3/4 ounce of "Oh Roy!" soda.
