My boyfriend mum is a lover of gin and over her years has collected a vast majority of gin, for this project I found that looking through her cupboard and photographing elements would be more beneficial than online imagery as to to me I was able to hold the bottle and a real feel of the product.

Now there is over 50 gins within this cupboard and I could be here for absolute days trying to explain it all. I decided to showcase every single one on this blog, however I would only annotate in detail the top 5 that inspired me through the design process. I took the top 5 to my iPad and competely analysed them throughout which really helped decided my design ideas.

All images:

All the images below are different angles of the gin bottles that I took, taking them from al different angels allowed me to understand each bottle individually. What is interesting about these gin bottles is that they all portray different stories and portray alternative personalities depending on the flavour of the gin.

Out of all the designs of gin there was one in particular I wanted to analyse and take further to understand how it looked and portrayed certain elements. I was going to take 5 gin bottle designs and analyse them, but personally I thought analysing one specific one would allow me to be certain of what to add in my gin bottle and the design.

The first one I analysed was the sip smith Lemon drizzle gin. This one stood out to me the most due to the shape and the colours used within the design. The shape of the bottle allows the designate work so well together. I analysed every single part of the bottle to understand all the elements that had to be part of the design.
