The bottles' angled placement aims to give the image a modern look whilst for the background I use a silvery frosted glass texture that is accentuated with water droplets to give the image a fresh look.
Thanks @Dr.ADDISON for a great contest and for being a very responsive contest holder!")
/99designs-contests-attachments/78/78232/attachment_78232459 "This is a design concept for Healthy Ready's \"How-to\" flyer.
As inspired by their website, this flyer is designed to look clean and modern with plenty of negative space.
The overall layout of the flyer uses the website's colour scheme and is designed to look slightly like an infographic with simple orange icons to represent each step. Extra arrows are also added to present these in an order.
At the bottom of the flyer are the key selling points that are placed on a dark green ribbon to enhance them against the white background. This is then followed by Healthy Ready's web address.
I opted to create a background that is mostly white for a fresh & healthy look. For this I edited and arranged a couple of client supplied photos and combined them with photos of various vegetables to emphasise the fresh ingredients used in each meal. Lastly, shadows and subtle gradients are added for extra depth.")
/99designs-contests-attachments/76/76454/attachment_76454282 "This concept for the Woof Works is for icons that can work both combined and as individuals, hence the rounded hexagon shapes.
As per client's brief, each icon uses the assigned colour from their website's colour scheme and is designed with a one colour dog silhouette to match the style of their logo. MIND is portrayed as a dog being trained by its owner, BODY as a dog with a ball to convey fitness and BOWL is simply depicted as a dog eating from its bowl.
Lastly, the icons are finished with faint drop shadows for extra depth.
Thank you @rachc_83 for all your fast and helpful feedback and for a great contest!")
/99designs-contests-attachments/77/77324/attachment_77324256 "This is a featured image design for an online magazine to promote their 3-day trip \"City Break\" offers.
The layout is inspired by a travel journal and utilises three instant photo frames to feature the highlights of each individual day in the trip. Each photo has the day written in a handwritten styled font to emphasise the diary look. Added behind the photos is a simple dotted line with planes at its ends to convey a travel path.
The deal's name “Städtereise” (City Break) is placed on the bottom left next to the client's logo on a simple orange bar that points to the destination city.
Overall, this concept is designed to look clean using one hero background image that represents the city with thumbnails and text that can easily be adapted to different pictures and places.
Thank you @textschmiede for a great contest!")
/99designs-contests-attachments/75/75995/attachment_75995256 "A frame sign for an upscale urban apartment project in downtown Florence.
This concept is designed to complement The Emerson's name with a clean and classy art deco look that won't overcrowd the already elegant logo. It is also made simple for high readability to passing pedestrians.
The sign has a prominent \"Now Leasing\" text that is visible from afar to draw people's attention in and is finished with a decorative swirls design inspired by the ornate version of their logo to accentuate the apartment's name as pedestrians approach it.
Lastly, I also added the text \"Urban Apartment Project\" at the bottom of the sign to highlight the nature of the office in a tasteful way.
Thank you @Adam.purser for a great contest!")
/99designs-contests-attachments/72/72488/attachment_72488157 "I opted for white as the dominant colour as with Ink Gin's poster design to keep the branding consistent across all products.
Per the client's preference to make the box look similar to a perfume bottle, I've drawn the mini Ink Gin bottle in the style of classic watercolour perfume bottle illustrations.
Similar to the poster's style I arranged some botanicals around the bottle and across the box, although this time I'm keeping the bouquet simple, since the box is quite small, to prevent the design from being cluttered.
Thank you @harriet_J for another opportunity to design for your gorgeous gin brand!")
/99designs-contests-attachments/80/80642/attachment_80642420 "A vintage label design for Wet Shave Club's product line. As per the client's brief, I created a classic, gold-black and red design using typography that mimic the vintage look.
Due to the small size of the labels (2\" diameter for the round label), the layout is made straightforward to ensure that all text are readable. In place of the company's actual logo, I've opted to create one cohesive hallmark of the club name, est. year, brand line and product type. These are arranged to be conveniently replaced with different line names and product types as needed for their monthly product changes.
The design is finished with rustic borders and decorative swirls that are restrained from overcrowding the labels. The background also has a subtle thatched pattern for an aged look.
Thank you @Jim Coleman for the creative contest and for being a fantastic client!")
/99designs-contests-attachments/79/79093/attachment_79093863 "An illustration concept for Hafenbar Sarnen, a snack bar in the countryside of Switzerland that also provides boat rentals and entertainments. The concept is to create an illustration which will be used as their new home page image.
Taking inspiration from the client's initial rough sketch and reference photos, this illustration is created to represent the actual place and its sponsors in a vector style.
Aside from the scenery, this illustration contains fifteen individual objects that are based on their real life counterparts which will be used as links in Hafenbar Sarnen's new website.
Thank you @Swiss Agency for all the constructive feedback and for being a wonderful contest holder!")
/99designs-contests-attachments/75/75868/attachment_75868448 "As per client's brief to create a menu that has the same feel to their shop logo I opted for a retro ice cream parlour look.
The concept is designed on an A4 bi-fold menu to create a layout that can fit the numerous flavours comfortably. The front page is designed with a melted ice cream graphic to emphasise the shop's name and identity while the back page can be used for an address, slogans and social media presence.
The inside of the menu is created to look playful, with an ice cream cone as a centrepiece that houses the logo. The flavours are aligned with this cone to present them in a fun way. I also added mini icons that represent each flavour as an added accent and to make the menu more lively.
Lastly, the layout is made clean and it has ample space to add extra information as needed such as the pictured minimalist scoop prices on the bottom right and the \"Best in Town\" stamp on the bottom left.
Thank you @Dyar_Al-Ashtari for such a fun contest!")
/99designs-contests-attachments/71/71156/attachment_71156757 "White is used as a base here to let the bottle design stand out. I modified the contest holder's botanicals image into a sketch-styled bouquet as a backdrop for the bottle to highlight the gin's floral characteristics. I also opted for a simplistic, symmetrical layout with font sizes that are smaller than Ink Gin's previous poster design for a more professional look.
Lastly, per the client's idea and to draw more attention to the poster I drew an explorer/professor character sitting on the top right edge of the bottle with a magnifying glass. The illustration is made to look like a classic pencil sketch, and only uses subtle blue/grey shading to match the rest of the design.
Thank you @harriet_J for all your helpful feedback and for a great contest!")
/99designs-contests-attachments/72/72576/attachment_72576877 "This label is designed to look clean by utilising a simple layout and sans serif block fonts for a modern look.
The logo and the meal name are placed side by side at the top to make it easy for customers to identify different meals and to connect them to the company name. The list of ingredients and allergens are placed immediately below the meal name to highlight the ingredients used, which also work as a selling point when stating premium mixes.
The meal types are presented as coloured tabs for a \"scheduled\" look and are paired with similarly colour-coded meal names to establish the connection between them. Below the meal type is a graphic of a microwave with the cooking time and directions in full view for customers' fast and easy reference.
Lastly, the bottom right space of the label is dedicated for extra details and the best by date.
Thank you @StartUpCo for a great contest!")
/99designs-contests-attachments/75/75742/attachment_75742903 "As per client's request, this calendar uses soft colours and an overall style and colour scheme that complement their logo (which is placed on the top left for easy identification). It is also made simple to display daily notes clearly.
This design features:
1. Colour coded days for easy viewing with each weekday's theme emphasised on a \"tab\"
2. A Post-It note inspired space on the top right corner for the name of the month/year
3. Clean vector graphics illustrating each theme above the tabs and within the columns for accent
4. Ample space on each calendar day to write individual tasks in with a date circle and a space for \"goal of the day\"
5. A space at the bottom of the page that is divided into three cells for \"Urgent\", \"Follow-up\" and \"Ongoing\" projects
This calendar is designed at A2 size (420 x 594 mm).
Thank you @Momentum_T.S. for the creative contest!")

"This project was for the licensing of one element from one of Illustira's previous design entries in one of our projects. He was one of our favourite designers from the very beginning. The thought he put into his designs was great. Thanks again!"
