Assignment: Products

Products: Choice of Wine Labels or Tarot Cards

Size: labels are roughly 4”x4”, cards 2.75”x 4.75” (same ratio)

Illustrators enjoy a variety of product designs, ranging from novelty items to packaging. For this project you will have the choice of illustrating 3 tarot cards (2 fronts, one back) or 3 wine labels. If you pick wine labels you may want to plan not only a coherent style for all three labels but also think about necessary text for the brand of the wine, the type of wine (chardonnay, shiraz, merlot, etc), and possibly where it’s from. Tarot cards should be researched to make sure that the meaning and imagery correspond (for instance, the “death” card does not mean death as much as it does rebirth). Think about how imagery, style, and color helps to unite the elements of your project. Do not be afraid to try something unexpected if you wish.
