Well.. This is what I've been doing in my spare time for little over a year....
I finally received one of the newest carriers I've designed for Orca Beverage Soda Company.
As some of you know I'm a graphic designer and collect Nichol Kola but can't seem to find a
carrier. So when I found out this company brought back Nichol Kola to market I sent some
samples of  my work... One was a design of what I thought a carrier might look like... They
loved it and have been freelancing for them for about a year now....
A DREAM COME TRUE - doing what I enjoy - Designing advertisement for vintage sodas!
I've done several carriers, a few cases and some images for their website....
On this carrier I placed the history of Nichol Kola on the side. It was a small company
that almost got lost in time... And it is said back at the Bottlers convention in 1937
It kicked the KINGS of Cola in taste...  drinking

Eric,

That's awesome.  It's great to enjoy your work.  Now you have to convince them that a porcelien sign design is what they need.

Nice, congrats on getting paid for doing fun stuff.
Any chance you could post the pics of what goes to the printer? Always was curious of how carries were printed and made.
Low res strikeout that lurkers can't steal is fine. Just want to see the layout.

Thanks!!

What a great story. I Like the look of it! I can appreciate the work that goes into designing something like. My brother does graphic design and I've seen how much time it takes. Well done.
