Dairy Cows Illustrations series for packaging

Recently I have been working on a series of very content-with-life dairy cattle! These illustrations were commissioned via a design agency for who are producing print advertisements and packaging for their animal-welfare company client. One of the requests was that I incorporate a touch of blue and purple into the colour scheme - it was really nice to be able to add in such lovely rich colours.

I wanted to really show off their kind characters and sweet, curious personalities.

For this next one, I worked on three seperate pieces before bringing them together digitally to create the composition of the final illustration.

To accompany them, I also created some extra buttercup meadow/grass patches. These are a lot of fun to do!

Here are some of the work-in-progress sketches from them:

Milk Packaging Completed

I went back and added more colour to my typeface to give it more of an impact and to complement the colour scheme of the illustrations. I painted over the top of my pencil drawing in Photoshop:

 Today I finished photographing my milk carton designs and point of sale stand, which completes the uni brief of illustrating/designing milk packaging that is aimed at children and parents.

I also finished building my website! http://www.amyholliday.co.uk

Dairy Cattle Studies for my upcoming Milk Packaging Illustrations

Brief: Produce illustrations for and create a brand new range of milk packaging aimed at both children and parents.

For my illustrations, I spent a morning at a local livestock market making studies of the dairy cattle being sold. I make sketches while I was there and took photographs to use for colour references later on.

I could not find a typeface that I was happy to use within my milk carton designs, so I designed my own, keeping the buttercup-filled grass theme in mind:

Milk packaging designs to come, once I photograph them!
