berserker’s brew

Client: Spokane Falls Community College
Winner of 2017 Best Of Division and Gold Student Addy

This was a packaging project I did as a student in the Graphic Design program at Spokane Falls Community College. I built a carrying case out of wood, cut a hand-hold in it with a jigsaw, made beard-sleeves with some fuzzy material, and designed and printed vinyl labels. Berserker’s Brew! With Freeman Amber Ale, Berserker IPA, and Huscarl Stout.
