Inspired by the story of Moby Dick I designed this custom bottle and matching label for the fictitious brand “Whalers” rum. The shape of the bottle was inspired by the curved head of a sperm whale as used in the original illustrations in the book from 1851 by Herman Melville. For the label I decided to stay close to the nautical theme but deliberately steered clear of traditional techniques such as engraving or etching. Using a a modern minimalist approach to the illustration combined with high end finishes such as embossing and gold foil give the final product a contemporary and luxurious feel. Especially when the bottle is presented in it’s custom linen covered gift box.
I created a number of cat illustrations based on the (for me) usual set of limitations such ass restricted amount of colours, consistent line thickness and a fixed 15º rotation increment on any angle throughout the illustrations. Within these limitations I carefully looked at the balance between the character and quirkiness of the cats without making them overly cutsie.
In a second fase I applied these illustrations to a set of fictional packaging designs and promotional items to give an idea of the potential scope of the artwork. The selected typeface and the minimal designgrid used for these items was carefully selected and based on the design principals of the illustrations themselves. This ensures a cohesive and robust system that can easily be extended to a large number of different products such as canned or dry cat food, kitty litter toys, … Next to that the hole concept can be adapted to fit different species such as dogs, birds, rabbits, … as well.

I created this for Moir a new chocolate liqueur drink, the idea was to get across the rich dark smooth texture of the drink by creating a hyper-real scene.
Pools of lush chocolate and silky ripples of liquid.
