    First ever brew - (all i have is a 6 pack left)
    Its a west coast style IPA

    NAME - Arrowhead
    [​IMG]



    Second was a dark heavy smokey thing, gueness texture with a smokey porter taste

    NAME - Dark Knight
    [​IMG]



    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.

    Name - HopTop (98 ibu and 8%)

    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.

    They all look Sharp. I personally really like the porter label!

    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!
