I use GIMP

http://www.gimp.org/

GIMP is a great program for those who don't want to pay for adobe. It's got just about as many features as PS. Personally, I use photoshop and illustrator for most of my work, since I work for a graphic design firm and have my own personal copy of the Adobe Master collection.

I went to Fedex/Kinko's today to ship my beer for the NHC mug and noticed they have a self-service printer thingy. I'm sure many of you already know that but I'm kind of a Kinko's noob. Anyways I don't have a color printer at home so I brought my labels on a USB drive in pdf format and printed off a few sheets. It was something like $0.54 per color sheet, not too bad. Took me about 2 minutes and they're very crisp images. Looks like I'll be doing this in the future.

Thought that might be useful info for a few people.

These are first pass labels...working on what to do with them but I had to come up with something besides a white nameplate. Consider them first generation...made with Word only.
Appreciate any ideas/comments

My labels will always incorporate some sort of golfing title for the beer as well as a golfer of some sort on the label.

Elk grove? We should get together and swap some brew.

Aw just jump into something and try...mine pale compare to those that use gimp or illustrator or other nice graphic packages. But even with Word you can make some nice ones. I'm constantly changing mine for better I hope (will work on posting an update)...since I don't bottle much I have time. Still practicing my bottling from keg technique so whatever I label pretty much stays home for now. I may have to change that Blue EyePA label though....looking in the fridge and seeing an eye staring at you is a shock

Not sure if I am satisfied with it yet, but here it is as it stands now...

 

[chunklefunk]

I redid my logo and really got into using inkscape and free vectors.

 

[dbarrm]

Did some updating to our label, added some color.

 

[Jota21]

I think i like it better in black and white...

I like them both, but i think the black and white was a little better. Either way, I think the mushroom addition was nice.

Can you tell me where you make these up...they are all very nicely done and I have a concept, but I just need to know where to go and start the process. Thanks...

Gimp or Photoshop are the usual programs.

 

[chunklefunk]

I use inkscape off of the suggestions of other users on this board.
It is free just like Gimp.

Here's the label for my Honey Wheat. It's my first attempt at a label.
