During the Arcane branding process, this semi-comp explored a darker and more atmospheric direction inspired by nocturnal animals and mystery. Detailed illustrations of an owl, wolf, and bat were used to represent different beer variants and personalities while creating a strong emotional and visual connection with the audience. Black backgrounds combined with gold tones were chosen to create a premium and sophisticated appearance that enhances shelf impact. I also experimented with custom organic label shapes and composition to make the packaging feel more dynamic and unique compared to standard beer labels. Although the final Arcane direction focused more on tarot card collectibility and marketing interaction, I included this semi-comp in my portfolio to showcase my illustration work, creative exploration, and ability to create visually engaging packaging designs through storytelling and detailed artwork.
