This project is a branding exercise for a mock brewery called "Emissary Brewing Company". The brand sells Russian Imperial Stouts which are considered one of the darkest and most bitter beers in the market. The concept is a departure from the typical vintage / woodcut illustration that most microbreweries and craft beer brands employ nowadays; instead sporting loose, painterly illustrations and modernised typefaces.
The personality of the brand is an antithesis to the friendly and approachable feel that most beers have which stays true to the character of its hero product. Monochromatic and texturised images expresses the personality of the brand as the more solitary beer that is best enjoyed when alone.
