Spacing on The Label

     http://waterbottlelabelsguide.com/finding-the-right-size-of-water-bottle-labels/





                      Today in class, we talked about the spacing and how important where text is placed on our labels. I know that when I test print I want to have my label's text in the right levels of hierarchy. I decided to look up more examples of do's and don'ts for my label design. I know the colors have to be the right colors otherwise they will clash, right now I have shades of blues. I know putting white text on a yellow background is a obvious no in any design, because that is a no brainer. One tip I found helpful is the website's tips on finding the right water bottle label size. This website was able to answer a lot questions I had when I started thumbnails for this project 3. I also got great tips on designing water bottle labels for a company in general. Your want to have the right amount of branding for your company whenever you are designing something for the company. 

Things I know I have to watch out for ....
1. Spacing is crucial
2. The Fonts
3. color scheme
4. sizing
5. clarity

Uniquely Shaped

http://creativeaboutdesign.wordpress.com/2010/08/03/clever-space-saving-water-bottle-lh2o/





I found these strangely shaped water bottles amusing to look at. Its geometric but clever and I like it because its one of those things I would buy because I am in love with the design. The  Label design on this is pretty simple but I like the H20 concept and how they used the molecular formula to build their design shape. Science was involved into the idea. The size and shape of these are interesting because I have seen little water bottles before but this concept takes it to another scale. The name of this bottle is called LH20 and was designed by a company called Agua De Luso. The design is meant to be easy to hold and store.

                So far I noticed there are other things that go on a water bottle besides just the name brand and the logo. The bottle has also nutrition facts as well on the label and the recycling symbol. I have looked Poland spring, deer park, and even store brand labels to get more ideas. Take these custom made labels for example they have the nutrition facts on them in different ways to help me brainstorm more ideas.  The more examples I find before I finish project 3 the better. I want to have a firm grasp on this project especially in what I need to make my design successful. I know having all the parts and the correct sizing for my design will be important to have a well design.

          Water bottle sizes and shapes vary by the company and their brand. Some companies I have looked up have even bigger bottle dimensions so their actual label sizes are bigger and are different than basic water bottle labels at 8x2 in. I found this great website to help me get more ideas on my brand of Natural Spring Water.  I found some benefits of Vinyl water bottle labels if I was actually making labels for a company.  I found a water bottle label I found that was cute for an upcoming wedding, its a nice design for a water bottle label.

The Fiji Water Company

I looked up  the water bottle company, Fiji Water to examine their design.  Their philosophy is their water company is the finest water, artesian water from the earth. Their whole process in making the water is done by an artesian well method. I decided to lookup what this method is. The mean demographic of this company is mostly targeted at the rich I believe, because it seems like its fancy water. Most of the celebrities on the website support the company and this company actually offers door to door delivery of their product. They actually have  several subscription plans for their door delivery for anyone to choose. The water bottle design overall, is very elegant with a illusion background of the water bottle. The font and typographical elements of the design  stand well together, because it goes well with the overall theme of the company.

Stuff On A Water Bottle Label

Today I looked up the Dasani Water Company and looked at their designed water bottle. This water is purified water with enhanced materials.  One thing I know about their brand from researching their website, is their bottles are made from recycled plastic and are used to make other recycled products. I didn't know that 30% of the material is made from a plant resource to make this bottle 100% recyclable. I like that this bottle is design for the present use and future use. One thing I want to consider for my label design is what audience am I targeting? This feature on this bottle actually targets young and old with recycling and I think that's clever. The font of the word "Dasani" goes well with the overall design, when I think of water bottle design I'll remember the ideas from this company.

               Today I decided to look up unique water bottles and brainstorm more ideas for my design for project 3. There are a lot of websites out there who will customize your labels for special events such as weddings or baby showers. Places like zazzle.com will actually customize and create your label ideas for you. You just pick the font, design, and pretty much can put whatever you want on the label to personalize it. This site was easy to use and I was able to navigate through the site to get more ideas. I found the labels to be pretty simple and only if it was for party purposes. These labels wouldn't  be used for retail purposes and most of these are decorative water bottle labels.
