Packaging Design Brief
We are a small religious institution in Columbia, SC (USA) and are seeking a label design for bottled water (label size: 2.375" x 7.875") with the tagline of "Leading people to the Source since 1923" and based on "John 4:14" (Bible). The name abbreviation, "CIU," should be the prominent. Also include the University name, "Columbia International University"and website, "www.ciu.edu" somewhere on the label.
The design should take into account the mission of the university: "Educating people from a Biblical worldview to impact the nations with the message of Jesus Christ." This is not the theme; rather, it's included to provide a background for the purpose of the university. For additional ethos, visit www.ciu.edu
See a sample of the previous label as well as a few "ideas" (basic). These ideas are only provided as a sample basis, not what we want in terms of design. We need your talent to understand the message and convey it in a professional manner.
