'Orbit Gum Package Graphics'
About ten months ago I did some package graphic icons for Orbit Gum, I just noticed they are starting to use some of the art I had created for them. Being a creative person I am always checking out cool packaging and artwork much to the chagrin of my wife who tends to leave me alone in the wine section so I can peruse all the cool labels while she continues to shop. ;-)
'Rasberry Mint Icons and a Mojito Mint Sun Icon'
So the other day I was in line at Safeway and spotted my rasberry art. Over the next several days I located two others I had worked on as well. I don't think they used my Sun Icon however which I thought was a weird request anyway being a non-digestable food item. I mean who in their right mind would chew on something that is 27 million degrees Farenheit?
'Lemon Lime Icons and a derived Mojito Mint Icon'
I am still searching for Lemon Lime flavor. Looks like they derived the Citrus Mint flavor using my Lemon Lime art too?
OK, here is my art dork moment. I was so excited when I first spotted the Rasberry Mint that I exclaimed to the check out person "I designed the art on that." as I pointed toward the gum package she was scanning. She looked at the package and then at me and said "You did these dots? That'll be $8.73."
Yes I created those dots.....exit stage right.

Hey that is totally cool! Congratulations! I will look for your art as I chew that gum!
Hey,
Just saw the Raspberry Mint packaging in a new commercial too.
;)
I saw them today at JoAnns Fabric! Totally wonderful packaging.
Omigod I love your art dork moment--made me laugh out loud. :) The average non-artist can certainly bring us down a peg or two with remarks like that, no?
don't know if you're willing to share, but i've been looking all around for how to do something similar to this. what program did you use for it? i have a calligraphy squiggle line that i want to make into dots of different sizes but i can only get it right by hand in PS. any advice?
Just created them in Adobe Illustrator using the circle tool. I first of course thumbnailed out a general direction then used that as my guide.
