Bic Again

I haven't been updating because I've been in a bit of a creative slump lately. Work has me doing other things than me working on my portfolio. Which is good and bad. It's good because my work is getting me to do what I want to do (but in addition to answering the phone and doing the other work I don't really want to do), but I'm not working on my portfolio as much because I want every detail to be great. And I want the time to really think about what I'm making.

Which led me to evaluating what I had done last month or so, and not touch anything, and really evaluate what I like and what I don't like anymore.

And one thing I don't like (I still like my JAL and my IZZEs) is the inconsistency of the Bic Lighter Ads I have.

So I'm sticking to the "Special Edition" lighters only. Because that gives me a chance to reinterpret artworks.


I just really ended up liking what i did with this one, so I am just in the process of making two more concepts for it. I want them to be visually striking. And the copy is going to be sassy. But here is what I've developed for my second concept so far:


Unfortunately, I've got some work ahead of me and I had just accidentily deleted an hour and a half's worth of graphic work trying to design this boat, which was beautiful. Until I deleted it. It'll look nice.
