Show Us Your Label

Senormac,
If you are asking about " a clockwork orange" It is based off a NB kit called "La Petite Orange"
It reminds me of what a Blue Moon should taste like. Malt forward, caramel, coriander, zest of 2 large oranges, hints of clove from Wyeast Belgian Abby yeast (I forgot the #) Finishes nice and dry.

 

This one's priming.

 

This one's still in primary, should be ready for bottling in about a week and ready for 3/17

 

I don't think I would drink much of Toe Tag Teds ..... for some reason

 

Yeah, I think I'm going with this one.

 

This is the one I'm thinking of for my IPA..Which I named after myself.

 

Playing around with a few ideas for an upcoming IPA. Still need to do mine for my RIS

where's the effin delete icon !!

 

Made this label for the smoked beer I brewed for my GF's birthday.

 

First stab at a label/logo design. I'll probably rework the hop cones at the top to look more like the barely at the bottom.

 

I like it rys333.

I pity the poor foo who don't drink my beer !!

 

I might drop BA Baracus in there at the top. :rockin:

 

All generally the same, but with different content...

 

Wow, interesting recipes & labels!

 

12% cider?


:rockin:


:cross:

 

Thanks to pointcity-homebrew for the artwork. Now I just need to drop them off to get filled up.

 

I gave making Apfelwein and BOMM mead a try not too long ago. Just bottled the Apfelwein. Here is the label, going to use the same layout when I bottle the BOMM. Bottled in 750's...

 

I like the creativity in this thread. Of course, brewing beer is creative too, but I have a soft spot for graphics and artwork and photoshop

 

In bottles now, almost ready to drink:



Going into bottles in the next few days:



Next brew day:



Although I've realized that I need to change the "Bottle conditioned" warning on the last one, since you are supposed to drink the yeast in a Hefeweizen.

 

2 questions. What software (preferable free) do people use? I like he designs with a big picture in the middle and the writing on both sides. Also where do you order from? I've used bottlemark before but just for caps.

 

Inkscape or Gimp are a couple freebies.

 

I like Inkscape personally for open source. It lets you scale to any size you want without loss. I'm a old school photoshop nerd myself been using it for almost 20 years

 

I use Corel Draw (not free).

I print the labels on plain paper at FedEx/Kinko's and attach them with milk.

 

I used to use PhotoShop but made myself figure out how to use Gimp about 5 years ago. Now I use Gimp and love it! Inkscape has a steeper learning curve IMO and I've only used it for a bottle cap graphic when ordering from bottlemark.com. They have great tutorials on their site for helping you do just that.

 

For Mac users, the free programs (GIMP, Inkscape, etc...) are available, too. But, there are some relatively low-cost options, too:

Pixelmator does 90% of what Adobe Photoshop does, for $30. Photo editing and pixel-based graphics.

Graphic (formerly iDraw, until it was bought by AutoDesk) is a good substitute for Adobe Illustrator, also $30. This is a vector-based illustration app.

These are what I use.

For a little bit more ($50 each), Affinity Photo (pixel/photo) and Affinity Designer (vector/illustration) look very good, also.

 

Made a label for my first Double IPA. Tell me what you think! View attachment ImageUploadedByHome Brew1487636535.204640.jpg View attachment ImageUploadedByHome Brew1487636559.198355.jpg

 

Decided to go a different route. I should've added some highlights to the text but it's decent

Not fancy but I'm happy with my first try and only using PowerPoint.

 

Looks crisp, and to the point. Nice design. The only thing I would adjust is the size- a little smaller so they fit the bottle better.

 

Updated label for Das OtterWeizen -

 

Here's a first draft of the label for the maiden voyage on my new brewing setup (should be rockin' and rollin' in a month).

I'll clean up the wave and change the fonts a bit, and I appreciate any feedback/criticism from you guys.

 

I have no actual criticism, but wanted to say that looks really awesome! Great work. Mind sharing what program this was made in?

 

Much appreciated. I designed it using Photoshop. Illustrator would probably be easier but I have no idea how to use it. I just fumble my way around until something presentable comes out.

 

If the Arkansas swells like that, then that's scarier than a fracking tornado.
