Label for Guinness Bottles

I made this label a while ago but never shared it. It was originally for a cider I made and had a green background. My first beer (a pumpkin ale) is currently halfway through the secondary so I figured I'd get a new label ready, taking advantage of my old label.





It was tricky to get the label to fit the Guinness bottle properly, since the label must be arced slightly. I ended up writing a quick JavaScript calculator that inputs the top arc length (measured by taking a string around the bottle) and the bottom arc length, and the label height, and calculating how big the arc must be. Then it was a matter of putting it into photoshop and warping my image.

If anyone has had this problem before I'd be happy to upload the calculator for public use.

Good idea. Looks great.

I love it!! And great job figuring out the calculations.

nice job man, love the label:rockin:

great label and love the illustration style!

Simplicity at it's finest, good work.

Love the illustration of the fish.

I really like it. In the words of the mrs.' "it's cute"

The fish was a doodle I used to draw in class . I thought of it while trying to think of a label and a few hours later I had a decent label.

Thanks for the compliments

They come out really easily with needle-nose pliers
