Brand, packaging & print

Overview

Fort Rock Brewing needed a cohesive look across cans, cases, and campaign imagery—bold enough for cold-box retail, still grounded in craft authenticity. Work spanned illustration-forward packaging, color systems, and composited brand scenes for web and social.

Main Tasks

  • Develop packaging concepts and final can art for seasonal and core lineup releases.
  • Establish palette, typography, and graphic motifs that extend across touchpoints.
  • Produce high-resolution print-ready assets and retouched brand compositions.
  • Collaborate with production on proofs, finishes, and color consistency on press.

Accomplishments

  • Delivered shelf-forward packaging that reads clearly at distance and in low light.
  • Unified illustration style and logo lockups across multiple SKUs.
  • Supported faster stakeholder sign-off with clear mockups and print specifications.

Tools Used

  • Adobe Illustrator & Photoshop
  • Figma (layouts & handoff where applicable)
  • Color-managed print workflows (PDF/X, spot + process)

Selected visuals

Website mockup, print collateral (business cards), promo poster art, and tap handle graphics for retail, web, and marketing.
