Sustained Investigation Ten

20x10

This work I made as a break from the sneaker designs I have been doing recently. The design idea around this one was to show the brand war between Pepsi and Coca-Cola. What is happening in the image is waves that are supposed to represent the constant clash against each other. I also thought about this because Coca-Cola and Pepsi's products are so similar that the waves blend into each other. When I was making this, I really tried focusing on the color of everything, mainly the waves and how they blend and curve. That so it looks like they are moving and going forward rather than being static.

I created this using Illustrator and several reference images. I mainly used reference images for the cans. When I made this, I really focused first on getting an outline for the cans and waves. From there, I started to fill in and then added more lines to show movement. The waves were designed to look like they are about to crash down, and I featured both the cans being tipped over like they had just spit this out.

When I finished creating this investigation, I thought it came out pretty good. I think I could have added something more to the background and really focused on the design in the background of the image. I do believe the overall form did come out really strong, though.
