Drink labels

Production

 I foil blocked my nets, turns out the black worked best however unfortuntaely I'd already made the decision to use alternative colours, black and silver. Obviosuly I should have tried the silver out earlier but it was a last minute find and I just really wanted to use it

 My embossed logo on the triangular boxes, I like the embossing on the silver stock it's more prominent, shame the foiling doesn't work so well. Going to have to just photoshop it for my magazine page etc to improve the quality.

 Quick mock up of a drink label, I'd like to use a long label like this so there is a lot of black covering the glass.

Stock

Initially I wanted to use black on black (black foiling on black card) after I tried it out in the print room. However when I was on the hunt for some black stock I came across silver and needed to try it out.

 Black

 Silver

 Don't want to just use one colour so I'm going to try a range where they alternate and if this doesn't work then I'll just make two ranges,one silver, one black. I think they work reallt well together though and have the look of 'party' and sophisitcated. Only thing is is that the silver has a matt finish and the black doesn't, so together this might not work.

 1st embossed

 The silver and black together, I really like the alternating colours but I'll have to get a second opinion

 These are my bottles I bought for my labels. I thought clear bottles would work best with black labels, rather than dark green or brown.

Drink labels

I've been looking at shapes of labels, wrapping all the way around a bottle or partially. As I want to keep consistency throughout all products but differentiate the bottles to be different drinks then I think the best way would be to foil 'Soiree' onto the label and emboss the logo and screen print the drink description, varying the colours of the descriptions

More embossing

I attempted to make a 3d stamp to emboss in the print room using the wheel with raised letters on card, however I don't think the letters were raised enough in order to produce a deep enough emboss.

I've been trying out more variations of my logo as using the whole two words "1st class" is proving to be too long and difficult to get accurate when cutting out. I am contemplating screen printing the 'class' underneath the 'st' or leaving it as just "1st" because I do quite like the look of it and it fits a lot easier onto each net

Descriptions

Originally I centrally aligned the text on each net for the descriptions but with playing around and looking at things like this on my design context how it looks good arranged to the side, then I tried aligning it to the right and much preferred the look of this.

 This one was a bit of a struggle and kind of put me off the idea of aligning to the right, however I tried to arrange it so it works, I still prefer it to the centred text

Descriptions ready to screen print

Typeface for descriptions

I initially thought Times New Roman would work best because it is traditional, universal but also has a sophistication about it. I am also considering using Cambria bold because this would be consistent with the typeface used for the lettering on the front of the packages. I don't want to use more than two typefaces on the overall packages but I would like them to all be serif typefaces.

Typeface: Cambria

Position of text too high on the net

Position not suitable as price and barcode would be positioned at the bottom

Typeface: Times New Roman

I prefer how the Times New Roman works on the box, I have split up the text where pauses are taken, like we learnt in the type workshop with Graham. I also like that Times New Roman 12pt is smaller
