Created in 1900, Mangoustan's rum is a rum produced by Simon Frères (Paris). It is said to have been made to a recipe created by Napoléon Bonaparte.

‍

The cane juice for Mangoustan's rum comes from Martinique and is distilled locally.

‍

It is aged and bottled in France.

Brief :

Working for O-I (Owens-Illinois) France in 2020, I was involved in updating the engravings on the Mangustan's bottle.

My role was to recreate the client's label and create the 3D imagery for the new bottle.

‍

Issues :

How do you make a bottle of amber rum and its contents virtually realistic ?

‍

Objectives :

• Bringing glass packaging up to date.

• Highlighting new engravings.

• Design a label with an illustration.

• Create a new shade of rum in 3D.

• Create the right lighting for this type of 3D view.
