Barley Blog Image Suggestions

By BarleyBlog

After the initial launch of this site just last month, I thought it would be interesting to offer up a different masthead image every now and again. The creation of the brewery scene above took some time, but I enjoyed the process thoroughly and can’t wait to tackle a few ideas that I currently have.

As of right now the short list includes:

  • Panoramic scenes of trappist monasteries (I have reference shots for Chimay, Orval, and a few others)
  • Homer Simpson with a few Duff beers
  • Holiday themed scenes

I know that the above list is small and somewhat vague, but it’s what I’ve got so far. The reason for bringing this up is that I would love to hear suggestions on what you think would make a decent masthead image. I’m not worried about the time it takes to create or, in the case of the monasteries, faithfully recreate a photo in a more illustrated style.

For each illustration, I plan to share the design process. For instance you can view the steps in the creation of the brewery scene.

Feel free to comment with your ideas below. Thanks.

Go for the monasteries, far more interesting. Beer blogging is really a field where you can experiment fully with photos!

I was leaning toward an illustration of one of the monasteries for my next go around. It’s going to be a challenge. All I have to do now is free up some time.
