Brad Stoneking and his team at Piedmont Brand Co tackle all types of design. One of those areas of design is beer labels! So the project in this challenge was something he was a little bit familiar with. But he typically has more than 30 minutes to design one!
We give him a fictional brief, copy, logo options, and a dieline. He then had 15 minutes to read the brief, sketch, plan, and prepare without touching any design software.
After that, he had 30 minutes to design a label according to our brief, and his creative freedom.
I loved watching Brad's process and the shortcuts he was forced to take for this challenge. Watch him design a craft beer label from scratch in 30 minutes in Adobe Illustrator.

    Thats great info video though but when we are exporting or saving for print format aren't we supposed to curve all the fonts and share it with the printers? Coz everyone will not be having a fonts what we use for designing our collaterals and if we do not any of them copy the texts what we have put on that.

      Are you prepping all the pages of the coloring book yourself or just sending the illustrations to another company for them to add to a design?

  • @Thewanderingpenofficial
    @Thewanderingpenofficial 2 місяці тому

    Illustrator, rich black, so when you say "smaller" don't use on smaller type, .... my pen and ink drawings -some are very thin detailed lines, but it covers an 11x14 page. So is that what you mean by smaller for rich black?

    • @Thewanderingpenofficial
      @Thewanderingpenofficial 2 місяці тому

      on and it's all vectorized

    • @PrintDesignAcademy
      @PrintDesignAcademy 2 місяці тому

      I would not recommend using rich black for your illustrations. It's usually most beneficial in designs that have a huge flood of black. Where the entire background is black ink. For a coloring book. 100% Black is your best option. :)

  • @Thewanderingpenofficial
    @Thewanderingpenofficial 2 місяці тому

    Great, so I'm just vectorizing my pen and ink drawings. So would I need to work with the pantone at all since it will only be printing my black? It's for a coloring book.

    • @PrintDesignAcademy
      @PrintDesignAcademy 2 місяці тому

      You won't need Pantones for your book since it would be all black ink. No need to worry about that! It also brings the cost of a print job up when you use Pantones, so best to use them when a color you need is out of the range of CMYK.

  • @Thewanderingpenofficial
    @Thewanderingpenofficial 2 місяці тому

    Thanks so much for the print ready checklist. Do you have a line by line detail of how all this would be done in illustrator? I have a pen and ink drawing that i already vectorized but i need help with the crop marks and bleed and overall, how to prep a graphic for my printer, it's for a book. Hope I explained that.

      If it's only black and white then all you'll need is the black swatch in there. If your graphic isn't vector you can watch this video below to learn about working with images for print. Vector illustrations are the best way to go, but hope this vid helps for your export process! ua-cam.com/video/K18PHG0ho10/v-deo.html

    When deleting a Parent Page, I assumed it would delete the applied elements of the pages where that Parent was applied. However, I've run into situations when I delete the Parent Page and the elements stay on the page....making me go page by page to delete the elements individually. What did I do wrong? It seems that once you Override the Parent Page, it unlocks those elements...but how do you lock them again so that later on they will be deleted if you decide to delete the Parent Page. Does any of this make sense? LOL.

    • @PrintDesignAcademy
      @PrintDesignAcademy 2 місяці тому

      Makes total sense! Ya, when you unlock the elements on a page they act as if they were there the whole time. There isn't a link after you release them from the parent page. The best thing is to try and work in your parent page as much as possible and if you have a few different design needs, create a few different parent pages but keep them locked. Unfortunately no real way to "re-lock" the elements after.

    Hi- Quick question, working on a book in InDesign. I unlocked text boxes in pages 6-7 to insert content. These pages were taking on Parent Page A settings (fonts, etc). When I later made changes to Parent Page A (font size, etc) -- pages 6-7 where I had unlocked text to insert content earlier---did not take on the new changes made in Parent Page A. If I "apply parent to ___" page, the parent overrides the content that I had placed inside the text boxes of pages 6-7. Should I have done something differently? I also tried repeating this process and locking (CTRL + L) the text boxes in pages 6-7 after inserting content into them, and then making changes to Parent Page A, but nothing worked. Would love some guidance. Thanks so much.

    • @PrintDesignAcademy
      @PrintDesignAcademy 2 місяці тому

      Hey there! When you unlock your content it takes it out of that "same on every page" concept. The Parent Pages aren't about styling and more about objects that stay in the same place. So overriding will replace all your items on the page to match the parent. The best practice for large documents like books is to be using Paragraph and Character Styles which determine font sizes, color, spacing, all the thingssss. They work on parent pages and regular pages. Then when you go into those stylings and change anything, it'll update everywhere. Hope that helps. @yourhomecitysource @mariiashapoval1589

      They're simple to recreate as I've shown in the video, but if you're looking to share with others or to save them for later when you have an Action Set folder. You can click on the folder, go to the = menu on the panel and go to Save Actions... which you can have to send to friends or if you need to migrate computers etc.
