Graphic Arts
I’m not sure I have an identifiable design aesthetic. Some of what I do is inspired, some miscellaneous, some serve a client, a brand, or work as a user interface or user experience element. Most of my work is a playful combination of photography, graphic design and vector graphics. All of it is fun to create.
Beer Labels
My wife and I have been brewing beer since 1995. Our first labels were created with a now extinct application called SuperPaint before moving on to Photoshop. The question is always – which will turn out better the label or the actual beer!
Enfield Special Bitter
Description.
Our Enfield Special Bitter label is a remake of what was one of our very first labels when we first started brewing in 1995. You can see the original label in the group of six old labels in this gallery. The starburst in the background is the same one used in the Crimson and Clover label, but with different colors and a different Photoshop filter applied over it. I re-used the “American Gothic” motif from the original label. I added four copies of a small photo of our hops and created the ribbon behind the ESB title.
The “K&D” logo appears on all our beer labels. I created it based on an old photograph of Daine and I in front of one of Diane’s quilts.
