Xmas Case Labels

[big d]

im amazed at the great labels that are being posted on the various xmas case state threads.to save the challenged like myself from going between threads to peruse the labels is there any chance those with labels may post under the one thread the pics of said xmas case labels.
reckon that alone would be great and food for thought for future labels.there must be quite a few that we havent seen yet.

cheers

That'll be great big d
May need someone to collect them all and attach them into another photo shared site.
Dial-up here would be hell downloading 50 or so label pics :unsure:

Heres my rather ordinary effort compared to some others.
One is just a album cover, so not my own art work.

Mine are a bit boring - just basically copied my tap fonts & added in the recipe...




Cheers Ross...

Here's my premium quality labels. As you can see a lot of care and effort went into the design.

Not up to Jazman's standards, of course.

My two labels, such that they are. I just don't have the artistic flare of some.

I think there are already better in evidence, but this is the label that won the award, that spawned the slogan, that inspired the t shirt

Whats the best software or main one that everyone is using to make labels? Photoshop?

And what dimensions are ppl using?

Cheers

 

[tangent]

i'd say:
main - photoshop
best - indesign in conjunction with photoshop

i used an app bundled with Toast (mac) called SoniX Label Kit 2.71
i do all my cd and dvd labels with it and it also has templates for vhs, covers etc.
for simple stuff it's way too easy.
any 5 year old could use it

my dimensions were : mini DVD case

 

[wee stu]

Clapped out, antiquated versionof MS Publisher (97) - dimensions 98x81mm.

I've got a template, and I'm not afraid to use it

Then again if you don't want to waste your money. There is plenty of good free software around.

For image manipulation try The gimp. There is even a skin to make it look like photoshop now. It doesn't have everything photoshop has but it's more than most home users will need and the price is right.

For publishing and work processing give OpenOffice a go. Once again it doesn't quite have all the features of the commercial equivalent but there are not many home users that would need anything more. And as before the price is right.

If you must spend money though have a look at photoshop elements. It's a cut down version but will have most things you need and save you a bunch of cash.

Is there a goodcentral site to go to pull animated characters for labels....?
i.e batz.. where did you get your Bat from?
