SCREEN PRINTING ONTO BOTTLES
Because I can't screen print direcntly onto glass bottles myself using the college facilities, I did some research and found out the most common way of doing it is by rotarty screen printing.
(As seen in this video)
This is an automatic 3 colour job so three screens are placed above a converbelt contraption. as the bottles pass through the belt the colours from the screen is applied to the bottle whilst the bottle is spinning.

BEER COLOURS.
Back to colours, I'm starting to consider the colour of my products so it speficially communicates beer. To do this I've been looking at a website called KULER.
Kuler is a website that lets individuals try out, create and save various colour schemes. It also has a brilliant search function. If you wanted to use a colour scheme based around BEER. All you have to do is type the word beer into the search bar and within 5 seconds there is a whole range of different colour schemes all related to beer.
This is very useful to my brief and makes things alot easier for me.
This is one of the results I received when I typed in beer.
The great thing about this website is that you can vote on how good/successful the colour scheme is. This makes it easier for people viewing the colours to choose which one they know would work better.

PUB VISIT.
Last weekend I went on a research visit to the lovely town of Harrogate. Leeds has very few local pubs and mostly consists of pub chains such as Weatherspoons and Yate's etc.
Seeing as I am doing a whole brief about Local pubs I felt going to one myself was the best way to
get some first hand research. I took along a camera and snapped a few photos of local pubs and how they work.
My first stop was to the Old Bell Tavern.
The moment you walked in you get a pure definition of Pub. You are consantly surrounded by old bottles from Global Beers and old paintings of beer posters.
As you near the bar there is everything you would find in a local pub. Coasters plaster the walls and old Yorkshiremen que up for their afternoon pint of ale.
