You're put off the beer/the brand by the poster. That's exactly the response I'm trying to craft. Not a generic polished flickr image (with a shiny table, are you serious?).
The points I want to make:
- Challenge and offend a corporate brand
- Create an image that evokes the simple visuals of Warhol's pop art. Remind us about consumerism and the types of products it creates. But, whilst Warhol presented his images of mass consumption for example to highlight the egalitarian nature of a product:"What's great about this country is that America started the tradition where the richest consumers buy essentially the same things as the poorest. You can be watching TV and see Coca Cola, and you know that the President drinks Coca Cola, Liz Taylor drinks Coca Cola, and just think, you can drink Coca Cola, too...coke is good."
I wanted to juxtapose and challenge consumerism and create a negative Warhol, if you like. That's why the beer is being shattered, the water is red, the image is generally offensive. It's not meant to slick, it's not meant to be perfectly formed. If I wanted to print a polished shot, I would have evolved this one, with a bit more work needed in the set-up:
- ahhhh you should have said that earlier. my suggestions were as if i were to sell that product. not do to opposite.pango

"He liked the concept of hurting global brands/established corperations" "provacative"...
I didn't walk away with any of these feelings after viewing that piece. It seems a little pedestrian. More thought needs to go

Props to everyone for their interest!
Here's a rough concept I've worked up from the livetrace made in Illustrator:
In trying and trying, it seems, at least to me, there is no comparisson between screenprints and a simulation of such in Illustrator. It's propbably my poor execution, but to anyone familar to Illustrator, a close look at the poster above and you pick out the tell tale sines of livetrace, and they're ugly.
Personally, I think SigDesign's treatment stands out above the rest:

Seriously, why mutate this honest crit into immature troll-fest?

Dont ask for crit. Artists are confident on their own work. If you think you need to ask for crit, I think you are not going anywhere. Designers ask for crit as they are blinded by approval. Artist revere approval from no one except art it self.

Red border says "look at the border, not the picture!!!!!!! OMG ARE YOU LOOKING I'M SO RED!!!"
And like everyone in your other thread said, it's a mess. Clean that shit up!

i love the existentialism prolification of the hypo-exclude theories you're experimenting with. the fosterization, er excuse me, flatulization exuded in the piece overwhelms even the most ludicrous ironeous beliefs. well done.

The red frame is meant to give it a punchy graphic feel + it represents the Bud colours. Justifying the grain, I would say it gives the image a sense of its creation and certainly separates it from 99% of high-speed photography that you find on flickr.
- i just stopped by to say "what?!"effort
- In the sense that it does not have the look of a slick studio shot.PeterPancake
