Sip Posted November 27, 2003 Report Share Posted November 27, 2003 What you need Azaticus? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azat Posted November 28, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2003 Sip each year i make custom labels that I place on wine bottles to give to friends and coworkers. I have a basic idea of what I want this year, and have made a sample front and back label, but I am not too happy with it. I need a graphic artist to play with it a bit and see what they can come up with. I'll put the images on my site and send you a link. can't right now as guest just started to come. sorry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vava Posted November 28, 2003 Report Share Posted November 28, 2003 I can help also... maybe sip & I can have a design contest.... Although my design skills are limited, it sounds like fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azat Posted November 28, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2003 oh thank you guys. here is the main theme of the lable.http://www.southbayjazzclub.com/temp/barn.jpg I have created this for the front pichttp://www.southbayjazzclub.com/temp/front.jpg and this for the back labelhttp://www.southbayjazzclub.com/temp/back2.jpg I will be printing the images on thin canvas paper and will be burning the edges of the images so that they will not be straight and will give a small burnt effect. I will put images from the last 3 years so that you to see precious examples. The first year was based on a theme of Renoir party picture, second year was on fall leaves and last year was on a santa theme. Any help or ideas will be appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vava Posted November 28, 2003 Report Share Posted November 28, 2003 No problem. Can you send me the text by email, or PM? I'll have a closer look once I'm off work... ciao Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DominO123 Posted November 28, 2003 Report Share Posted November 28, 2003 Azat, for when do you want that? And what you posted, is it the theme or the image you want? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azat Posted November 28, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2003 Domino jan, I am not stuck on this picture in particular. I just though it would make a nice label. I was also considering getting a picture of 20-30 candle lit close up, but I was not too sure about it. If you have any ideas please throw it my way. I am a bit stuck on the burnt edges as I think it makes it easier in cutting the label and gives it a special look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DominO123 Posted November 28, 2003 Report Share Posted November 28, 2003 I was thinking to do it by hand and scanning it. Did I ever talked about my artistic talent? I think an image worth thousands of words, so I will make fast draw and show you and ask you if you like it. Burning effect and old style things are the kind of artistic works I like.

vava Posted November 28, 2003 Report Share Posted November 28, 2003 uh-oh... Domino's going to draw I'm in trouble... my stuff just won't measure up... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MosJan Posted November 28, 2003 Report Share Posted November 28, 2003 Azat jan no need to place labels on my 1987 Marilyn Merlot wine, i liek it teh way it is. MOvses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DominO123 Posted November 28, 2003 Report Share Posted November 28, 2003 (edited) OK Azat, here an idea of what may be good looking Wine label. This one is in Grey tone with a pencil, if you like this kind of stuff I will do it in color. This one the words were writen by hand, while a final version would have words typed by computer... as well, this is an esquice, I just have drawn something fastly, without measuring or having used compas and other stuff. What I usualy do with artistic works is that I make them by hand and then scan it and work with photoshop etc... by adding letters and things that must be too precise so I have to use the computer. So here is the fast drawing. I think you get the idea. Edited December 20, 2003 by Fadix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DominO123 Posted November 28, 2003 Report Share Posted November 28, 2003 Oh and the note: Label made in FadixLand is the only prize I ask. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bellthecat Posted November 28, 2003 Report Share Posted November 28, 2003 Domino, it looks like a plucked chicken! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DominO123 Posted November 28, 2003 Report Share Posted November 28, 2003 (edited) Domino, it looks like a plucked chicken! Dup! Azat is a vegetarian. Actually Steve take the idea of what you see not the way it looks like, I did that dem thing in 15-20 minutes or so, it was just a fast drawing to show the idea.

DominO123 Posted November 29, 2003 Report Share Posted November 29, 2003 (edited) Wait a minute, you are right Seve, I exactlly see what you mean. You have good brain dopamine levels. Edited: Azat, I can modify this chicken a little bit to make it look like a turkey if you'de like. Edited November 29, 2003 by Fadix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DominO123 Posted November 29, 2003 Report Share Posted November 29, 2003 Hm. looks like it wasn't of Azat taste. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azat Posted November 29, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2003 Domino, you want to make it look like a turkey because I am a turkey? Domino jan, I think you are doing the wrong thing. While I like your idea and all that I did not want anyone to spend more than few minutes on this if they were going to assist. if i was paying you I would work with you to make the label to meet my needs, but there is no way I can make you do all that and revisions and such with pay and unfortunately I am cheap. Thanks though. Actually Vavaushka sent me an image that I really like already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DominO123 Posted November 29, 2003 Report Share Posted November 29, 2003 (edited) With all the time it would have costed, I was planning to put it on Wine bottles as well. So it would have benefited me also(not me, but the rest of the family which will drink, I don't drink). Ah as few minutes, why asking others for a few minute work, are you that cheap in art that you can not do much yourself? Oh and the turkey was for the hollyday, not that you are one. (on the other hand, I won,t say the same for Sip ) Edited November 29, 2003 by Fadix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azat Posted November 29, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2003 Unfortunately I really can't. I am a lame ass. Did you see the two images that I created? they look crappy Oh and I guess you should have put a bonehead and not a turkey to make it specific to me.

DominO123 Posted November 29, 2003 Report Share Posted November 29, 2003 I guess not everyone is good in everything like me. BTW Azat, why do you find the constant need to reduce yourself on every possible occasion? When you do that you sound like a girl having a continual self critic fixation on herself.

Are you telling me that there is a girl trapped in me who has a continual self critic fixation going on? but it's true Domino. If you ever meet me you will realize what a bonehead I am. You should have realized that based on the things I have done in the past here. (Bruin, what smiley goes here, happy face because I want to pretend I am joking or the crying one because it's true?)

DominO123 Posted November 29, 2003 Report Share Posted November 29, 2003 I'm known to be the kind of "boneheadom." If you don,t believe me, you could see that on your next visit to Canada. That has its advantages and inconvinients(I wonder how this word is spelled). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vava Posted November 29, 2003 Report Share Posted November 29, 2003 Domino - 'inconveniences' is the word you're looking for, and I agree with you that Azat often sells himself short (or pretends to... ) I do the same thing, but I would like to hope that it's part of our nature to try and be humble.... Besides, we're all boneheaded in some way or another Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sasun Posted November 29, 2003 Report Share Posted November 29, 2003 Besides, we're all boneheaded in some way or another Yeah, if we didn't have bones in our heads we would be flat-headed p.s. sorry didn't mean to interrupt your artistic discussion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
