Just doing a brief for uni for Feel Good Drinks. All the brief says is to use their slogan "Spreading the feelgoodness" however you like. Just come up with a little design today, wondered what everyone thought of it.

The idea is the bottle is packed with stuff that makes you feel good and is exploding onto the page.

Anyway:

Looks good but I would perhaps introduce a bit more contrast between the objects near the top of the bottle. From a distance it is just a mass of colour with not much definition on the arrows.

Works well though. Certainly satisfies the brief.

Looks gay, but right for the product. Speak to Alleh, she needs something doing and you'll be better at it than me...

what typeface is that at the bottom?

Not sure about the green arrow, I feel it might work slightly transparent? or maybe even a more matching colour

It's graphic, but not explicit. Ask for her briefs.

I can't believe they gave you the slogan

"spreading the feelgoodness"

Sounds so grammatically incorrect.

Not sure I would have the flower and star so close to it either.

bottom left flower by typeface isn't needed. I think the slogan should contrast nicely but not be involved in the busyness. purely linked by contrast.

Very good point Hoddo. Noted

Good stuff so far guys cheers. I like to hear other peoples views as when your designing something for ages you get sucked into it and you can see the whole picture.

I love the Crits we do at Uni, we meet up 2/3 times a project in small groups of 8 or so and crit each others ideas. I really enjoy it.

I think if you wanted to keep the star with the slogan then maybe have one around where the flower is but maybe a different colour.
