Body Scrubs for Au Naturel Soap Company

Thursday, May 26th, 2011

Au Naturel has been making fresh, natural products for years — it just happens to coincide with people’s desire for healthy everything. These scrubs — Brown Sugar Orange Body Scrub and Lavender Body Scrub — leave your skin feeling soft, moisturized and clean. The initial designs I created were a bit too soft; muted colors and soft waves, then warmer caramel tones with a tropical touch (waves and a palm tree); Dawna pushed me to give her a bit more and her instincts were right. In the end, I created a gradient so the edges were darker and could create space for the ingredients; as I worked in, I created these organic, uneven “chunks“ to mimic the scrub itself and waves under that pattern. The text is a combination of brown and red tones. I took those same elements to the lavender blend with a different palette.

Body Scrubs for Au Naturel Soap Company

soap labels I designed for Au Naturel Soaps Seriously? How about Moondance? or Crazy Love? These are the new names we’ve created for the Au Naturel Soap Company — homemade soaps with all naturel ingredients that read like edible food. No kidding — distilled water, coconut milk, Rosemary Extract, etc. These soaps lather beautifully and offer some side benefits like exfoliation (poppy seeds naturally do that) and relaxation (lavender). I’m having a blast designing the labels. So far I’ve combined texture — linen, waves; color – gradients and bubbles; pattern – waves. And the labels are sophisticated, elegant, fun and memorable. See for yourself.

Limoncello Label Design (take6)

I think this is it – I could go indefinitely as I keep coming up with images in my mind. Never did find those photos from Italy, but I have tons of slides. Another day. I’m posting my recent design for the label. And actually I’m leaning toward this one. However, I’m going to clean up all three designs and put them up for vote. In the meantime, this design gives me the old world feel I wanted and my lemons. Layers of yellow bars like fabric on the lower portion are balanced by the lemon tree and Ralph. The arc’d rectangle houses the product name and creates more dimension. Went for a traditional, elegant serif font in the color of his shirt. It’s about time to prepare the juice.
