Label shape and size
Before designing your label, you'll need to pick the size and shape of the block you want to create. My design is 3 1/4" square. I picked a size that i thought looked good on the bottle, and coincidentally, it also turns out to be the perfect size for making a coaster. Your block, design and paper all need to conform to the shape and size that you select. Now on to the design part: think simple. Is this your first time carving? think even simpler. I'd start with text and play around with shapes, spacing and placement until you've got something you like.
You may be surprised just how powerful your font choice can be. It may just be words on a label, but how those words look can really affect the customer browsing experience. Whether you want large bold letters or a design that resembles an old-school brewery, you should match your font choice to your brand’s aesthetic.
