Label Designer Needed!

[myles_3000]

Hey guys,
I am more than capable of pushing the power button and turning the computer on...But i am far from grasping the skills needed to make a logo.

I need two logos made up, one of which i already have the artwork for but just need the name of the beer added to it, and have it sized to a oval label shape.

And the second logo will need a little bit of work, but i have the basic idea of what i want and a picture to start with.

I would be very appreciative if anyone here could help me out with doing the technical work of it, and ofcourse i am more than happy to pay $$ for the work done.

....Or even if someone can recommend a person that does this type of thing.

Many thanks.
Milo

Are you sure? There is plenty of ideas and 'artist' around here... Doesn't involve a duck does it? :lol:







PS: Sorry maybe before your time but maybe someone can supply a link.....

It does involve a duck, a black duck actually....
And if the design is good enough i will remunerate the artist with a keg....errr i mean...half a keg of said beer!
haha

Franko designed my label and a lot of other member's labels. He's a good bloke to go to.

Download Cute PDF

http://www.cutepdf.com/Products/CutePDF/writer.asp

Once it's installed, choose 'print' in word

CutePDF should be a printer option

Click print

It'll save a pdf instead of actually printing- it's like saving any document.

Problem with it being in word is most likely going to be the resolution most printers require their brief to be in a very high res format which word is not. You may have to ask who ever did it to give it to you in a hi res format if you are going to send it to professional printers.

 

[peas_and_corn]

Yeah, that's a factor. I use cutepdf to make my club's newsletter, and there's a noticeable low-res aspect to the transfer.

Yeah unfortunately the resolution on Word is just to cover basic images for a document. Depending on the label design he may not lose too much detail to the eye but most printers will want the creative provided in either a PDF, TIFF, JPG, or EPS file with a minimum resolution of 300dpi.

 

[peas_and_corn]

Hmm. So you need to either annoy the person who gave you the file to do it in a real image editing program, or contact someone like Franko.

Yeah i figured word wouldnt be high enough resolution, but atleast i have got an idea of what i want now, and ive had a member contact me to have a look at it, so will see how we go.

if you still have trouble let me know... most things can be converted from one form to another... with enough exasperation
