SKYY Vodka assessment

Assessment

We researched the event, venue and competitors.

We came to the conclusion that we needed an eye-catching design that played off the nautical theme of its surroundings and resonated with event-goers.

SKYY Vodka design prototype

Design and Prototype

Fully into the nautical mindset, our team created a color rendering detailing the unique use of materials emulating a sailboat. We then created a full color prototype for SKYY’s approval.

SKYY Vodka production

Production

The client loved it. Our team got busy producing 1,000 displays for the event.

For the base of the display, we used a 4/c litho mounted to chipboard. We created custom-bent powder-coated steel rods for the sail frames, vinyl simulating sail material, and mounted actual rope across the front, complete with a sailor’s knot.
