Digital illustrator specializing in packaging design and brand scaffolding.

Project Goal:
Create premium packaging artwork for cannabis seed bags. Artwork must be print-ready and built for consistency across multiple strains, with a flexible scaffold that allows new hero illustrations to be swapped in while preserving the brand identity.

⸻

Deliverables
• Print-ready files in CMYK, 300 DPI.
• Layered vector files (AI/EPS) plus high-res raster exports (TIFF/PNG).
• Master scaffold design that includes:
• Background map texture / nautical details.
• Border cannabis leaves.
• Compass element.
• Standardized logo placement.
• Standardized typography placement.
• Hero illustration (Blue Macaw for first strain) on its own layer, separate from scaffold.

⸻

Immediate Tasks
1. Clean & finalize Blue Macaw art:
• Remove yellow highlights from wings.
• Adjust text and map placement.
• Fill one small gap with an additional cannabis leaf (consistent style).
2. Build reusable scaffold:
• Lock in brand layout so future strains only require new hero art.

⸻

Future Work
• Additional hero illustrations (birds, ships, pirate themes) to match strain names.
• Ensure consistency in detail, color, and composition so all strains clearly belong to the same family.

⸻

Style Notes
• Bold, colorful, premium — collectible artwork, not generic stock.
• Nautical / pirate-inspired, but refined.
• Must feel high-end and consistent, with no clip-art shortcuts.

Why This Matters

The bag is the face of the brand. Strong, consistent art is critical to building a premium image and ensuring Black Flag stands apart from plain or generic competitors.

I’d like to add the company logo on the bottom right, lower the text, clean up the foliage, and remove the yellow highlights from the birds wings.
