Polystyrene Dreams and Net-based Nightmares

This is the result of limited visuals and a rebranding of the current logo design in set for mongolian shoe bbq. Feel like I have skitted dangerously close to plagiarism here, especially with the logo. However before I go any further let me clairify my intent, delivery and distribution methods.

The packaging itself is a result of a purchase, as is with any shoebox, but the concept being that it being obviously related to the loosely based theme of food concerning the promotion. 

This is to give the chosen audience of the 18-30 age bracket a novelty in recieving their shoes in a way that is distinct, individual and makes them proud to have bought a pair of shoes from the website. Generally got good feedback from the initial designs, just that my problem analysis was a bit all over and not well thought through, but at this early on I would agree with this comment.

Mike in Photoshop

Just a little note on what we were doing with Mike in our photoshop tutorial, finally learnt how to do a Duotone correctly and not make it look like a snails lunch.
First we needed a full colour image, I just grabbed a photo of when I went to egypt.
Converted to grayscale, adjusted the contrast, etc, the went to mode and selected Duotone. 

After that I toyed around with the various levels presented to me, just to essentuate the various tones present in the image, and to get to grips with what a combination of colours can do for an image, not just purely on an aesthetic basis, but a practical one.

With the option to do more than just duotone, there is also tritone, and quadtone. So I though I'd pop a cheeky tritone up just so you can see how lovely they can be.
