Hello DIY! Label design for ejuice swap!
submitted over 10 years ago by tflack

Hello! I went to school for art, but I work in retail at a brick and mortar in Florida. Throughout the day I sit on this here computer and work on designs - from custom silver pieces for my lil brother /u/skakid812 to random things. I have a budding new tumblr at: this spot here

So I was actually swapping juice with another redditor when I thought that maybe I can spread the love with my own skillset. So what I am offering is a custom label with a theme of your choosing sent in high resolution via email. I can do multiples for different flavors. AND in turn, you send me some juice. That's it. I hope this seems like a good idea, I really think it will be fun! Let me know what yall think and Ill go from there!

EDIT 1: I just wanted to make a quick list so everyone knows who I am working on: /u/jl2121 completed! /u/shtnarg working /u/steegzqt messaged! /u/sli working /u/xmortis working /u/OGs2000 working /u/redbic working /u/charliebush emailed!

this is not really in any order. Also, if I forgot you on this list just message me! Don't take it personal, I was not prepared for the positive outcome of this idea! Thanks to everyone who has been workin with me!

Hey this is a cool idea. I already give 10% of my income to the art community so let me back up your offer with a second one:

If you use /u/tflack to design your label and send him free juice, I will print and die cut your labels in full color and ship them for free (U.S. only) when he makes the design. I don't even want your juice, I just like to encourage artists to create.

Beautiful. That's amazing.

I dropped out of grad school for hardship reasons and I am shy returning to sell/create/make. I really, really really appreciate it. That's awesome. travismakesphotos.deviantart.com is my other site, in case you or anyone else is curious - my tumblr is basically empty atm. Thanks a million.

I don't need portfolio work examples.

Art should be funded, not directed.

This month I gave my allotment to a theater group that is 100% against everything I believe in. But no one else would fund those psychos so I stepped up.

Edit: fsck grad school. I dropped out of grade school.

That's not how it works. That's not how any of this works.

I just wanted you to see my work! Believe me, without sounding too assholey, I was never directed.

What about 10,000 labels? ;D

2 points
 
by abdadaover 10 years ago

No problem as long as the labels are 0.05" x 0.05" each.

Can you link me to some of your digital graphic artwork? We need some minor adjustments made to our labels as we are going with multi-color now and our usual guy is busy atm.

How about to Canada with a fee!!?

Can and will do if my new partner is up for it.

1 points
 
by abdadaover 10 years ago

Canada has been problematic with my shipments for the past year or so. The only way to guarantee receipt is for me to drop off at usps. I dont drive so it's a 45 minute round trip bus ride.

If shipment can wait up to a week to go out, I'd do it.

Nice offer. I offered some juice up already to see his work. If he does choose to do a design for me I'd like to work something out with you as well.

I'll be watching out for his creations! I am hungry to get new samples out but needed a good way to filter demand. This works perfectly since an artist gets compensated and I get more people testing my many media and ink combos.

That's really nice of you. I'll let you know that I still wear the t shirt I bought from you almost every week and it's still awesome.

Was it a Canvas brand or Gildan brand?

I think they are both Canvas.

This a fantastic deal. I wish I took my juice making seriously enough to capitalize on this.

Can I send you some juice from Australia and you can come up with a label (and name) that you think is fitting? As undirected as I can get!

Sure thing man. PM details!

I already have a logo in the works but I'd send you 150ml of juice to see what you got. You can choose the flavors and sizes. If I like what I see I can contract out some other work to you.

Sounds great. Where are your flavors and what would you like me to do? PM me if you'd like!

I see fox art on your Tumblr, so I'm immediately in. For reference of the style I've been wanting to do for my labels, here's a mockup of a box mod I'm (eventually) building.

What nic level? Fruit or tobacco? I can also turn my tobacco flavors into dessert flavors.

1 points
 
by tflackover 10 years ago

I love dessert flavors. Creamy, milky, delicious.

I like your fox - what are you going for? Labels for juice? or another box idea?

1 points
 
by sliover 10 years agoTobacconist

Labels for juice. The box is likely going to just be a one-off for myself.

I have a flavor that started as a blind Gambit clone but turned into its own thing pretty quickly. Apple and RY4 backed by a bit of cream and a touch of some graham cracker. If I had a juice line, I think it's the one people would scramble to buy. Hell, even my friend that thinks all DIY stuff tastes weird said it was fantastic.

Right on. Would love to try it. Want a label? What names do you have in mind?

That's a sweet idea.

If this guy is swamped now, you could take the over flow.

I'll gladly accept overflow, just want to make sure I don't step on toes.
