After the peer review I got thinking about alcohol labels, as I put forward the idea of bottles having a story inside - which relates to Poe's alcoholism and it was suggested not to do bottles as someone else is already doing something similar, but to just focus on labels.
I spent some time looking up various ye olde time alcohol bottles and novelty spooky parody ones, to give me an idea of what people have done here already.
I stuck a lot of the images into my book so I could reference them.
As part of this I looked at the Wychwood Brewery labels as all their products have spooky names and funky designs.
Off the back of this I decided to design some images that looked like beer labels, based off Poe's work. I chose to use green on a whim, as I thought the feel of this should be more subtle - and the pale green still gives that eerie undertone without being upfront red+black = horror and such.
I really like how these turned out, I think the colours go really well and I feel like with green I can happily use different tones of the same colour and it still be "two colours"
