In desperation for inspiration i bought the forty dollar design annual by Print Magazine. The same one i got for about six dollars when i was a member last year...i will never bail out on subscribing again. In contrary to other opinions, which i can respect, i think there are some really beautiful and clever designs this year. Not wine bottles, but other things.
Progress...
I sent my label off to Feron today. I guess I'll get it by Wednesday or Friday apparently. I really need it by Wednesday in order to know what i want my box to look like and get it all done in time. I found a place that will print gold but i have no idea if they can get me what i need in time for the due date.I really wish we had more time for this project.
I'm getting three labels made, two in silver and one in gold so i can choose which looks best on the bottle and have one to screw up with. My label wraps all the way around so it's ninety dollars for three tries at this. I better get it right.
This is what i sent to Faron
With the blue tag i made as a literal tag or as a sticker that goes over the top of the bottle - I've seen the sticker over the top of some bottles and really like the way it looks. I'm not sure it would work here.
I think i like the black top bottle better. I think too much metallic coloring isn't really necessary here - and it helps you focus on the type more. What do you think?
There is not a single wooden wine box i could find in Atlanta. I drove every where today. So, I've decided to make a box less dramatic because A. It should not outshine the bottle and B. the one i want to make will be similar enough if not better than what i could have done with the last. I'm using a nice handcrafted paper instead.

I have to agree with you. I think you should go simple with the box especially since your wine bottle design has alot of things going on by over doing the box then it will be just too much.
I agree with linda and I think I prefer the silver. Good job so far!
As a rule, I typically prefer silver, but I think the gold works well with the subject. Either way, I like them. The wrap around should look pretty stunning. I like the label over the top as well. Nice touch. It's like a seal and it looks very authentic.
You are spending $90 on yourself...your creativity and your future and I'm positive you are worth it! Like the silver the best in the photo but again, it's what communication you wish to send visually. One is warm, the other cool.
it's looking terrific!
