Another entry in my homage to Funny Face Drink Mix from the 1960s and 1970s. You can see the first part here.Apparently the Moonman line of drink mixes wasn't content to stick with the usual flavors...
I have new found respect for those 1960s package designers. It's tougher than it looks to come up with a simple yet iconic character, and then choose a suitable color scheme that suggests a flavor.
I drew the alien and the Moonman logo with the pen tool in InDesign. The logo is hand-lettered, but based loosely on a real font. I added the symbol in the middle because nothing says 1960s space age like an atom. Then I imported those elements into Photoshop, where the rest of the text, the packet and shading were done.
