Then i decided i wanted to get fancy and go all out. This beer is a hop heavy one that i put a lot of time and effort into.

Thanks!

The first two were trial batches that turned out good. The third almost cost me $90 in ingredient's so i wanted to take a bit more time and do that one right.
 
Thanks, that one took a bit more work.

If anyone wants the templet (without the green writing) i can pm it to you.
 
REALLY dig the Hop Top label. The other two are very nice too, but have you considered the cost of ink? That's a LOT of black. Just something I personally think of when designing a label. But all in all nice work :mug:

BTW what program(s) are you using?
 
I figured that out AFTER i printed about 50 labels. :cross: From now on I only label the bottles i give away plus a few for myself (total of about 6-12 of them)

Programs... Well i use a mixture of Photoshop, paint and corel.

Thanks for the positive comments!
 
The last one is awesome, I love how the smoke around the beer glass traces back to the distant building, and how the sun is casting long shadows of the building. Great job!
 
For the life of me, i cant seem to find my original... Ill keep looking!!! I wanted to use that image for when i brew that beer again...
