Inspiration and Insights into the Design Process
I was inspired by memories of fresh lime squeezes from my youth. My goal was to recreate a version of this drink using natural ingredients and lower sugar than traditional soft drinks like Coca-Cola and Mountain Dew. My aim was to create a nostalgic 1950s vibe. I did most of my research online using Pinterest to search and store images. I also did research in the grocery store; where I discovered an explosion in the number of craft beverages similar to my concept. Since then, I have started to “see” beverage advertisements everywhere, from television to social media and billboards.

Another thing I found was that sketching ideas first was easier for me. Trying to design directly in an application limited my ability to develop ideas. When I had a design on paper, it was easier to make my idea work because I already knew where I wanted to go. Next time, I would sketch more before committing to a single design solution.

Along the way, I  gained an appreciation for Photoshop and Illustrator. It has been a couple of years since I took the Photoshop class, so I was a little rusty on Photoshop techniques and capabilities. After struggling a bit, I feel like I’ve regained some knowledge and hopefully added to the skills I had before.

Three Takeaways:

Do more research and exploration before committing to a single design solution.

Do more sketching.

Take the Advanced Graphics classes as close together as possible to reinforce learning. Practice using the techniques you've learned.

In this bottlecap, I did some experimentation with the Extrude and Bevel effect. The silver color of the bottle cap was a surprise, but I thought it was an interesting effect. I also used two slightly different colors on the words Sublime and Lime to make lime more green.

In this version of the Orange Sunset cap, I took advantage of the gradient tool and tried to make a more realistic-looking bottlecap shape. I didn't feel like I had as much control over the colors.

I have used The Noun Project as a source of clipart in the past. You can use it for free or subscribe to get a wider variety of images. They now have add-ins for Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign. I haven't used this feature yet, but it sounds like a convenient way to find clip art for your projects. I also like the idea that I'm supporting artists by subscribing.

Making bottle cap images in Photoshop is a great way to add a unique and personal touch to your photos. Here's how to do it:

1. Start by selecting the photo you want to use. Make sure it's a high-resolution image so the finished product looks sharp.

2. Next, open the image in Photoshop and create a new layer.

3. On the new layer, use the Elliptical Marquee Tool to draw a perfect circle around the area you want to use for your bottle cap.

4. Once you have your selection, fill it with black using the Paint Bucket Tool.

5. Now go to Edit > Transform > Distort and drag the corners of your selection until it's slightly smaller than the original circle. This will give your bottle cap image a realistic look.

6. Finally, add any text or images you want on your bottle cap and save the file as a PNG or JPG.

And that's it! Your bottle cap image is now ready to be used however you like.

PRO TIP: Some readers have reported that they are unable to open the bottle cap images in Photoshop after following the instructions in this article. It is recommended that you make a copy of the original image file before attempting to open it in Photoshop.
