Labels for my first two batches

[lweisenb]

Just got into homebrewing and my first two batches are an Imperial Stout and Imperial Blonde... Waiting for them to be ready is a struggle but in the mean time I've created labels. Will probably keg them, but hold some bottles aside (Plan on labeling both).

Those labels are all sorts of awesome! Nice job!

I really like the font in the second one. It looks nice.

Yes. the font. mmmmmmm

the Strawberry font is "28 days" and the ABV font is "Throw my hands up in the air" , both were free..

 

[beninan]

what about the background font? that's the one I was referring to.

100% google images, lol.

I'm assuming you did these in Photoshop or something? Any tips on size, etc?

Really cool, btw.

I used Photoshop, did the original design at 6"(height)x10"(length) for keg labels and downsized to 3"x5" for bottles.

I find deviant art and google images good sources for free art as long as its personal use.

Awesome labels. How you hid the blonde's naughtier bits is quite amusing, even if i find her lack of them slightly off setting ;-)

Good catch, I actually used photoshop's "healing" brush over the naughty bits so they were gone, then used the wording in positions that would have mostly covered them anyway. Even the wife approved (She wanted the beer).
