Labels, Printing etc

Hmm.. Felt a bit inspired and might have 'copied' a bit from Neil :whistle:

I did mine in 'Word': (if it shows - I couldn't register for photobucket - so I'm trying Picassa)

Yay - it worked after 3 or 4 edits and different HTTP addies. :party:

Great labels all around! I can't wait to start making my own! Once engine is built and brewery done !

Cheers muddydisco - I figured it out. I had to right click on my image in Picassa, click properties, and copy the url (minus the % sign). I think it works fine now.

I tried for the umpteenth time to try and edit in photoshop and gave up again

Hi, this is something i've been looking into too. Not done any lables myself but I've had a good look round the internet. My thoughts were to get some lowtack/removable lables for my printer. Only problem is they are not cheap, was thinking of raiding my sofa for some spare change. One site I have found for a great range of lables is http://www.labels-online.co.uk. They have low tack oval lables, to me they look perfect but they are expencive!

Another one I was looking at was http://handylabels.co.uk but I think you would have to brew a lot of beer to make it worth it.


Ace lables by the way, I need to learn how to use photoshop!

I found my little 'thumbs up' guy in Office Clip Art. I also found this one:

He'll be used on my reverse labels:

Nar, not me...
Just thought it was a nice picky to go with the title "Revolutionary ales".

Poor Che! He's become a tool of the regime he fought so hard against, a mass marketed emblem...

Heh, thought not. Completely off topic my mate is a graphic artist and he once did a t-shirt design where he put Thatcher's face on that Che image. It didn't sell very well but it looked hilarious.

 

[BarnsleyBrewer]

He wouldn't sell many Thatcher T.shirts in Barnsley unless there was a noose around her neck! :pray:

I made this for my latest beer using adobe illustrator. The label fits nicely on aalabels' greentech labels (http://www.aalabels.com). These lables even have templates made for them that you can download so everything lines up nicely (think they even do custom shapes if you ask them nicely). What I really liked is they are semi-permanent - sticks well but pull up a corner and they come of easily. Also come in gloss, semi-gloss and matt (not all work with different printers).

I started brewing this beer just after I got out of hospital with a dicky thyroid, hence the name. Thought an old style American quack doctor label would suit

Love that label :thumb:
