Laura Greenan for the Ball Corporation
Ball Corportion ask Laura Greenanto design cans to showcase their smart contemporary properties.
Laura worked on two drinks cans that showcased both the infinite recyclability of aluminium, and also two of the client's own speciality printing techniques. In this instance they wanted to showcase HD photo printing, and their unique glow in the dark neon inks.
Her design had to include elements that would show off these printing techniques, plus carry a strong recycling and reuse message. They asked to avoid cliche images that are often used to portray things that are environmentally friendly, and requested a visually impactful and colourful design that was a celebration of the aluminium can, its recyclability, and the drink it protects.
Laura adds, "I created a couple of retro flavoured ideas that incorporated the flowing infinity symbol and different slogans to represent recyclability, and the ability of the aluminium can to keep the drink inside fresh and cool. I then sourced some appropriate HD stock photography to complement the design and create some interesting and colourful compositions."

Bob Venables X Kwak World
Bob Venables creates a 'Kwak World' for the Belgian beer's recent rebrand.
This was an enjoyable and mammoth project for Bob which involved producing packaging artwork and a whole host of elements for an animated TV ad.
The award-winning beer brand commissioned Bob for his highly imaginative skills which have seen his art on trams and even hot-air balloons! Bob explains, "It was a lovely job to work on that involved the initial bottle label, which meant supplying a dozen or so sketches of the figure to decide which would eventually be used, then with the final one giving options on the details like buttons and ties. It then moved on to packaging to create a Kwak world that should be imaginative, quirky, unorthodox, curious and surreal. That meant illustrating caramel balloons, nougat bees, almond birds, banana penny farthings, hop windmills and many more. At the marketing stage I drew all the figures and backgrounds for the animated TV ad to create a 30 second film. Further to this, the artwork has been used on posters, trams, inflatable display figures and hot air balloons. It was a wonderful job to work on and to see the illustrations used in so many different situations. There are over 70 different individual pieces so far, many painted overnight, as the deadlines where incredibly short, especially to keep the animators supplied, but I prefer that way of working rather than long timescales."
