jjdaugh Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 I am not very creative, but I really wish I was. My 7 year old son can draw as well as I can, seriously. I have been spending a lot of time trying ot make a beer label for my home made beer. My dad is retiring, and I want to give him a case of personalized beer. He was known at Papa Tiburon (Papa Shark) at work and so that is the name of the beer. I have created a few labels, but would love some recommendations. I have used many of the tutorials here, but my creativity is what is killing me. http://home.bellsouth.net/p/s/community ... thumbs&ck= Any suggestions? http://home.bellsouth.net/p/s/community.dll?ep=331&folderid=249457&groupid=325155&folderview=thumbs&ck= Thanks, Jim D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Picc84 Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 Well, your shark is pretty good... but i think it needs to be more like the beer lables you see out on the market today... is it a bottle or a can? or something else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjdaugh Posted August 9, 2006 Author Share Posted August 9, 2006 First, I cannot take credit for the shark. That is my Dad's logo. These are for beer bottles. I plan on using rectanlge labels roughly 3.5x4.5. Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barkbark00 Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 here's a little something I made. I could clean it up and add more content if you like it?? P.S. photobucket.com shrunk it 50% EDIT: compass and burned edge are original Paint.NET creations Quote Take responsibility for your own intelligence. 😉 -Rick Brewster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jjdaugh Posted August 10, 2006 Author Share Posted August 10, 2006 Do you have a PDN file I can edit? It looks awesome. I dont know how you artistic types do it. Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barkbark00 Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 I have the PdN, but I'd like to clean up the edges of the paper before I send it off. when do you need it by and is there anything that you would like me to add?

jjdaugh Posted August 10, 2006 Author Share Posted August 10, 2006 There is no real dead line. I did one more attempt at being creative on my web page. Laugh if you like. I will just be adding text to bottom stating the type of beer and when it was brewed. I used the wand to select the edges and made them all black for printing purposes. If you live near Atlanta I would give you a few. The label really does look great. Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoltBait Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 Hope you like it... barkbark00, I love the burned edges on that. Can you give a tutorial on how to do it? I want to do the same thing to the following picture as well as changing it to sepia: http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/40038304/ Quote Download: BoltBait's Plugin Pack | CodeLab | and a Free Computer Dominos Game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barkbark00 Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 I actually just based it on a Photoshop Tut online and converted as much of it as possible to PDN. I basicly just used a wide paintbrush and painted the lighter brown on a second layer, added some noise and blurred it. Then I used the same size brush and added darker (almost black) section on another layer around the edge of the lighter brown. I then blurred that and cut around the edge. You may want to sharpen it all a little bit cuz mine is a little blurry..
