101 fruits..continuing..

I put the comic idea for representing pineapples on hold and decide to explore a commercial application. I came up with pineapple juice, not very original, i know..So i will produce as much as i could logos for juice can and bottle. I decided to respect a custom brief i made up, to help myself. The logo has to be modern, but must also represent the legacy of the brand, nearly a century old. It has to be in spot color and should provide the  shape of a pineapple, and the following type: EXTRA JUICE, Brewed in Hawaii since 1920, 100 % Natural.

To do so, i first drew a Pineapple (again) and a palmtree, which i can use in my illustrations. Again, Once drawn on paper,i scanned the drawings, open the files in photosop, ad a layer and with the pencil or the pen tool, redraw them to obtain a clean outline. For the pineapple, i just draw half of it cause i am lazy, then the outline done, copy it and paste it ( ctrl + C and CTRL + F to copy it on the front of the original outline ), and finaly went to Image>Arrange>reflect>vertical. You just have to move the second outline to obtain the full pineapple.

From there, i add type and shapes to compose pictures. Those are i have done so far.

And my very favourite, an old retro one, wich i made thanx to the tutorial you can find at :            http://abduzeedo.com/create-zee-vintage-label-illustrator.
