WHY HAVE YOU CHOSEN THESE SPECIFIC BRIEFS?

JUICE WELL PHARMACY.
I like the idea of creating a logo that suited to a specific ethos. The ethos of health, well being, nutrition is something that I am very into myself so i felt as though I could relate to the company and its aims of promoting health and fresh foods.

LAFAYETTE ROSE WINE
As the brief asked for a typography inspired logo with elegance and sophistication, this is something I have wanted to work with. I have not yet hand much of a chance to work with typography in this way before.

OATZILLA
Wellbeing and excise are something that is close to my heart and is something I can relate to due to being familiar with in the environment the proposed audience will be in.

OLD OX BREWERY
The client has requested a vintage type logo which is something that I find fun to work with.
They also ask to make sure that the type and image have to work separately as well as together and I feel that this may be fun to work with.

CAPTHE
Because the logo had already been supplied, the packaging is the main focus and this may give me an opportunity to experiment withe the packaging and the relation of this and the logo to the actual product.
