Soda Label

We have the webbings here for my soda label. I had too many ideas to choose from, but I decided to go with a Japanese manga.

These are the thumbnails. Now for the thumbnails, I hadn't fully decided what to do with the rough copy. But, in the rough copy, you can see the idea come to life.

And here's the rough copy. Since Naruto is into ramen quite heavily, why not do a soda depicting his favourite food? Mm, cold noodle juice.

And here we have the good copy. Introducting, Konoha Co. Soda! This company makes a variety of Asian flavoured sodas. From the quite flamboyant taste of the animated names, or that of this ramen soda.

I definitely had fun making a soda label for Naruto. I'm a huge fan of the manga. If I could improve it, I would have had more Japanese characters included in it, and maybe a different font. I did have a bit of trouble choosing the colour scheme for the background, but after remembering what colours seem to appear in the anime, I decided on an orange, green, yellow scheme.
For next time, I might try doing a different manga!

Magazine Cover

Alright. Here we have my webbing. I was stuck between a magazine illustrating the violent lifestyle of the fictional gang of the Third Street Saints, a magazine about legendary music acts and one about snowboarding.

This is my first thumbnail page. I experimented a bit with different ideas, because I had not yet settled on one.

Here is my second thumbnail page. As you can see, I was a bit hesitant with these so I rushed a tad. Thankfully, I went with one of the ideas from the first thumbnail page.

Here's my rough copy. Hastily drawn, the computer version turned out much better than expected.

And here's the final copy. It took much effort to crop out the band members out from a selected picture. It also required patience.

I enjoyed doing a magazine cover on Blink-182 due to my enjoyment gained from listening to their music. One thing I wasn't too fond of was the lack of animation and shading. I think it would have looked better if there had been such. Next time if I do a magazine cover, I would try and experiment with animating the title, and subtitles.
