“Kaleidescope” for Belleflower Brewery
The color is inspired by the amazing sunsets I get from my office window which is in the same neighborhood as the brewery.
The original piece was created in Adobe Illustrator. The background was extended top and bottom for CANVAS.

Does this particular piece have a backstory you could share? (Process, Inspiration, Changes of plans… whatever)
I created this label with Nostalgia in mind and my own memories of the endless possibilities of shifting shapes while peering into a kaleidoscope. The color is inspired by the amazing sunsets I get from my office window which is in the same neighborhood as the brewery.
