Worked as Art Director on relaunch of Victoria Beer look and feel. Goal was to bring Victoria back to it's traditional mexican roots by pulling inspiration from the iconic Charro, the traditional mexican horseman. Through their uniquely patterned clothing and tools of the trade, I was able to hand draw, then vectorize specially branded patterns for Victoria. With no clear typeface that really captured the look and feel, I continued the trend of hand drawn shapes and created a typeface that is both traditional as well as eye-catching.
