Batiste Bottle Selection.

After completing my bottle designs I then applied the look onto two other size options, I kept the size of the pattern consistent so there was little variation between the set. I am really happy with all of the outcomes as they fit well together and look realistic as actual batiste designs. I am pleased about this as it was important to me to remain cohesive with the brands current look. I have also added ground shadows which gives a realistic look.

Batiste Bottle Application.

I then took my designs and applied them to the bottles themselves, shadows were added to give form.


Orange Blossom

I firstly looked at the scale I wanted my pattern to be and I was surprised in what a difference there was.  I felt that the small option looked to busy so that was discarded and I thought that the close up version gave a really interesting view so I continued with that composition.



I then applied the standard batiste banner and experimented with different colour variations where I felt the orange, even though there wasn't much contrast, still worked the best. After deciding on the colour I then added other graphics. I felt that the blossom illustration was necessary to get across the scent more clearly.




Next I looked at type and decided on a font that I thought would be the most suitable for the scent. With the one I chose I liked the delicate, hand written style. I then applied this typeface to other areas and experimented with the composition.
