Lemon Tree
illustration, product design, typography
Recently I was inspired to create this candle label while listening to a song called Lemon Tree by Mt. Joy. I used a photograph of a lemon slice for reference and then I went into Adobe Illustrator to draw it. I was able to add different shades of detail and light to the lemon by using the marker brush tools. I went through a few different versions of this design, but eventually decided to overlap the text and the illustration to really bring in the viewer's eye to the scent. I chose the main typeface because of its light and summery feel, which is something I also associate with lemons. I also decided to leave the background of the illustration and type transparent because I believe the yellow candle wax helps enhance the design.
