Big Rig Brewery

Beer can designs based on our nation's capital.

About The Project

For this project, I was tasked with creating two beer can designs for a local brewery. The designs had to showcase iconic landmarks located in Ottawa, I decided to choose the National Art Gallery & the Canadian Nature Museum. Both designs reflect their respective landmarks, presenting them in a fun and interesting way, while staying true to Big Rig Brewery's brand and previous designs.

Process

I initially started with the idea of basing both of my cans on the Nature Museum and the Art Gallery, from there I chose a distinguishing feature for both museums. My final decision was a t-rex for the nNature Museum because of their wonderful dinosaur installations, and the giant menacing spider that stand outside of the Art Gallery. From their I created sketches and moved on to Illustrator where I created the final designs. Feedback from my professor and peers helped shape the final look of the cans.
