Can Label Project Finished
This is my can label finished, I did some finishing touches, added a background with some text and I'm not sure if I should add more or not, but this was the finished product of my Hoven Horsetail. With the ingredients, images and even background. I wanted to give some of my stuff a glow up and clean up a lot of it. I used the Chef Boyardee can logo as inspiration for my label. The head, hat and everything were all created by use of the pen tool.

Computer Art Assignment: Can Label Redesign
Watch and complete the following videos
These short helpful tutorials can be found in Illustrator (work through them all)
Challenge:
Can YOU design!?!? For this project, you’ll take an ordinary can and completely reimagine its label. The goal is to invent a new food or canned product and bring it to life through bold, creative design.
Template considerations
Instructions:
- Choose a Can – Find any canned product to use as your starting point.
- Invent Your Product – Come up with a fun, creative, or unusual food or drink idea to feature on your redesigned label.
- Design the Label – Using Photoshop and Illustrator, create a new label template that fully wraps the can.
- Required Elements:
- A bold, eye-catching title/caption for your product
- Nutritional information or product info (real or playful)
- Photo(s) or imagery that reinforce your concept
- Strong hierarchy in your graphic elements (decide what should stand out first, second, third)
- Attention to craftsmanship: clean edges, aligned type, consistent spacing, polished presentation
Tips for Success:
- Think about how the label fits the shape of the can and how a customer would view it on a shelf.
- Use contrast, typography, and imagery to make your design stand out.
- Have fun! This is a chance to push your imagination while practicing professional layout and design skills
CANS DUE IN PERSON AND ON THE BLOG by class starts on OCTOBER 1st.
Project One: The Anti-AI AI Art

Title: "Just because you put some extra seasonings in your instant ramen, doesn't make you a chef."
To be honest, the AI was much more of a hinderance than a help. I already had the ideas in my head, so I didn't need the AI to help with brainstorming. I just had to get the bot to make images that were slightly similar to my ideas and make it look like my art was inspired by the sloppy generated images so I could follow the project instructions. Gemini struggled with following my creative vision and so it kept making images that didn't make any sense. Also, it kept saying the first one went against it's guidelines or something, probably because of the slightly violent imagery.

Project 1 Finished
Project 1 Completed
Digital Painting 1 (No AI influence)
Digital Painting 3 (No AI influence)
Digital Painting 4 (AI Influence)
I focused primarily on using the AI to help me figure out more accurate lighting/perspective, as that's something I often struggle with. I also asked it with help regarding my backgrounds. I mostly left the base and character alone and instead focused on adding to it and around it and make it look more like she fits into the background.
