beer packaging

my initial plan for the tiger beer packaging is to design a wrap for the beer and keep the original beer packaging underneath so that its recognisable to the public. Therefore the wrap will have a japanese style writing on it to make it obvious of its far eastern origin. i looked at some typefaces that do this. Preferable i will hand draw it and vectorise it to make it look more like a japanese style type. But these are some good inspirations of what i want to create.

Instructions to print on tissue paper

Difficulty:

Moderate

1. • 1

     Spray a light coating of spray adhesive on a sheet of printer paper.

   • 2

     Press the printer paper onto the piece of cardboard, then peel it off. Do this several times to reduce the amount of adhesive on the paper.

   • 3

     Cut the piece of tissue paper so it is the same size as the printer paper.

   • 4

     Press the tissue paper onto the printer paper, being careful to leave the tissue paper as smooth as possible.

   • 5

     Insert the printer paper with the adhered tissue paper into the printer and print your picture. Watch carefully for any jamming.

   • 6

     Peel the tissue paper off of the printer paper after the picture has dried thoroughly. Peel slowly to avoid tearing.

     
     

     I am thinking about using tissue paper for the beer wrap. And am looking into how I could print onto tissue paper, which doesn't use screen printing. I don't think this is a very good Idea for print, I would end up having to use the college printers and definitely don't think this would be allowed. It is also quite a risky way to print and probably won't have a high standard print out come.

     
     

     Design your own Rubber stamp

I quite like the rubber stamp idea, keeping it quite simple. Although I will have to look into how it will fit into the brief and how it will work with the imagery I have created for the card design, since the focus for the imagery are the japanese playing cards.
