Black Market Goods (Student Work)

Designed by Marco Manansala, a graduate from Cal State Fullerton with a BFA in Graphic Design, United States.

The project was to create a promotional beer packaging piece for a fictitious brewing company called, Black Market Goods. Because of the company name, the bottles were created to resemble illegal weapons sold in the black market. Each bottle took about 10 hrs to create due to the long drying times of the primer paint used for the body.

Finally, a wooden box with a bracing system was designed and constructed to hold the bottles in place during transportation.
