The brief stated that the bottles would be the ones pictured and that the liquid would show through. That immediately made me want to create something that would compliment the colour of the liquid.
I wanted the bottles to look as though they belong together but without them being too bland. So, after finding out what the colours of the liquids would be, I started playing around with accent colours to see what would look good on each bottle but also when they would be on a shelf all together.
The seal was optional, but I definitely wanted it to be part of the design as I felt it really made the bottle pop.
Throughout the contest I got great constructive feedback from the contest holder and thus was able to tweak my original design to get a result the contest holder was happy with.
