Labels
Last night, after redoing the blog a bit, I worked on the labels for my first two brews. They’ll both be ready in 2.5-3 weeks, and even though I’m not going to put them on the bottles I drink at home (because I’ll just have to scrub the damn things off again), it’ll still be nice to have semi-respectable looking containers to give to my father in law, boss, etc.
As I’m calling my “brewery” (another few brews and I’ll probably take the quotes off) Kallisti, I figured the easiest way to overcome my lack of artistic skill was to shamelessly plunder the Kopylefted material in the Principia Discordia.
All the bottles to come out of my house will likely have the Five Fingered Hand of Eris on their necks:
The first, for my porter, I’m the most happy with:
The raspberry wheat label I’m somewhat less pleased with; it just seems forced, probably because I couldn’t find anything better and so used the mandala whether or not it made sense. That, and it’s too dark when compared to the text. It may turn out alright when it’s printed, though, and in any case I suspect the recipients of the bottles will tell me it’s fine, if only so as not to get cut off in the future.
I’m sure I’ll eventually run out of Discordian catma to plunder and I will instead be forced to sucker my graphically inclined friends into helping. One problem at a time, though!
