Lettering for Package Design: From Sketch to Label

Hey, this is a really fun idea and starting from scratch is such a great way to immerse yourself in the foundations of the brand. If you're looking for more ideas, I would go on vimeo and check out videos on sign painters. It's such a fascinating and inspirational way of working with your hands. I also think a black and white colour palette would be completely appropriate given your product. Excited to see your progress, good luck!

That vintage Leone tin is so beautiful, looking forward to seeing your ink bottle label. Such a fun concept.

Hi D. This sounds like it's going to be lovely. BTW, there's a San Diego City College group for this project. You should join us.

My project is a Ink bottle label, and I am starting from the scratch...the name, target market and etc...I'm considering to be all black and white project.&nbsp;:)
