Designed for H Jon Benjamin's jazz piano playing alter ego The Jazz Daredevil. If you know, you know. Otherwise - check it out here. Have to say it is pretty amazing chilled. You can buy them here. The design grew around his photo from the album "Well, I Should Have...", after that it was just chasing down the vibe. Get yourself a suitcase worth here.

Starting to lock in a direction - the final five cans for review. All cans built and rendered in Modo.
Built up the design around the hero image. When I researched existing alcohol canned drink packaging many of them were overly illustrated and detailed - which looks great on an individual can, but caused them to blend together on a shelf. Leaning into the mid-century album style of color blocking with bold colors, overprinting, and straight forward typography reinforced the vibe of the artist and helped make it stand out in comparison. First round variations below.
