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:


  1. Choose a Can – Find any canned product to use as your starting point.
  2. Invent Your Product – Come up with a fun, creative, or unusual food or drink idea to feature on your redesigned label.
  3. Design the Label – Using Photoshop and Illustrator, create a new label template that fully wraps the can.
  4. 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.
