Just saw this thread and it looks like Sparrow is on to something.

I love the variety and creativity of beer labels. I'm also a graphic designer and had fun making my own (viewtopic.php?f=10&t=4741&start=1). Happy to help anyone else. Cheers!

I am loving this thread.

That third one is getting closer....

Same file, run through different Photoshop filters.
Still looking for a way to spit out something more like a line drawing in this theme....guy leaning against a wall, but kinda back-lit...

I also like where this is going.

To add some perspective...

I like it!

There is nothing the Borg can't do.
Nice work guys.

This kicks serious hiney, Papa! I'm likin' it!

Now, I just need to figure out how to actually make labels out of this. I don't computer very well....

And Sparrow, I owe you a couple of brewskis. Seriously. If you think you'd like a Black IPA, I've got one fermenting right now, and if I like the results, I'll PM you and get your address, and ship you a couple of bottles. I really appreciate what you've done.

And Birdie, you're a sweetheart. I may be an "old timer" on the Borg, but I'm just a regular guy who doesn't merit any special treatment. I'm really touched at the responses to my OP.

Dave,

While I'd never turn down an IPA of any kind, I truly enjoyed getting a chance to stretch some muscles I no longer get to use.

The whole thing was a Borg team effort, and BigPapaG ran it home!

As far as the actual label making goes, I haven't used any of the labeling software out there, but I know the Borg will come through for advice.

It's obvious that BigPapaG knows how to create a label out of it, so maybe he'll chime in with his technique. And then I'd have to figure out how to reproduce it six times on a sheet of paper so I can print it out. I wouldn't mind using that template for nearly every batch I make, so I'd need to know how to edit the text each time.

I guess I'll need to search other label-making sites to find one that would allow me to completely customize a label in this way, rather than use a pre-made template. Much as I love the ease of beerlabelizer.com, it doesn't carry a blank template option.

Nice finish BigPappaG!!! Dave I use a site called labeley.com for me it was fairly user friendly as most things computer wise are not so friendly to me. It is free!!! You can save a bunch of labels on their site till you hit the limit, once you hit the limit you need to start deleting some but as I create them I download (use the HD download option, creates the best label ) them to a folder on my desktop for Brew Labels then print as needed.

Can you save my marriage

Don't really need the wife, just don't want to see my kids get hurt.

Well, I tried, but I couldn't figure out how to import the image from either my Downloads file or from Photobucket. Technology is my enemy.
