Grizzly Beer Illustration
Customer: Borealis Coffee Company./ Task: Design & Illustration
Specification
We’d like an illustrated mascot for our business that we can use for packaging and merchandise. Borealis Coffee Company is a small-batch coffee roaster in Riverside, RI. Our founder is from Anchorage, Alaska and the name Borealis is a tribute to growing up so far north. We’d like the mascot to be a grizzly bear.
Design needs
Grizzly bear details: somewhere between a fine line illustration and cartoon; not growling, maybe looking like he’s enjoying something; it could be just the bear head or the whole bear, rump sitting; we like the idea of have a landscape or some design woven into the shape of the bear. The first thing we’re going to do with it an embroidered patch or hat, so the lines can’t be too fine. Black and white illustration.
From the beginning we need to draw sketches. As a result, we chose number #2 from 4 sketches.
