Flare Freebie

Welcome to another Flare Friday!  Last week I was inspired with patterns to create packaging labels. Well this week I'm inspired by ...labels!

Fuego Hot Sauce, By talented graphic designer Stephanie Hughes

As soon as I saw the packaging for this hot sauce selection, I fell in love. And I felt like a short trip to Nando's for some tasty chicken legs! 

Ok back to the design. Take a look at the bottle shape... see the curved edges? This is a design element. The designer has cleverly used the design principle of repetition to create unity. This curved edge or line, is repeated on the shape of the label & the typography.

Check this out!

I have to use this concept one day!

This is how my page turned out by using the design element mentioned:

Vin, Fabulous art as per normal, and an awesome freebie too boot. Your page isn't 12x12 and it doesn't look like a traditional A4, can you shed some light on your sizing? I really like the shape of the bottle but I am loving the colours in the bottles!! Have a fabulous weekend xx

[Eszter (beszteri)]

Thanks a million, Vinnie! I LOVE your Flare Fridays! :)

[Vinnie Pearce]

Hey Tracy! Yeah the colours are gorgeous aren't they! I really REALLY want them to grace my kitchen bench!

OK the size I have used is a letterhead size, 8.5 - 11 inches. You can get the same size page protectors and I will be printing this straight onto a bazill white cardstock.

Thanks for visiting, Tracy! Always so nice to hear from you!

[Vinnie Pearce]

Thank you so much, Maria! I hope you are well.

I hope you and all your loved ones were not affected by the earthquake. Thanks for the inspiration and the cute tags.

I popped by your site after I heard of the earthquake. I see your posting and take that as a good sign that you weren't too badly affected. I love your layout. I don't do rides either! Thanks for the labels. I wish I could achieve the same effect with them as you have.

[Vinnie Pearce]

Thanks for your thoughts! Dont worry about making a page look like mine :) What matters is how happy you are with it. Thanks again for your concern. It's a miracle no one died in the earthquake.

[Jennifer Barksdale]

Awesome! Thanks so much!
