perfume label progress

I’ve been steadily working on my perfume label in class. Initially, I wanted the perfume to have the scent of bleeding heart flowers, but since the bottle is an amber color, I decided on an orange scent.

I’m still playing around with font combinations for the brand. But I am happy with the body copy font (The Seasons).

The brand font in this early stage was Gautreaux
Here are my WIP font options… still not sold on any yet

Then I wanted to include orange blossoms on the label for some floral imagery. I found a reference online and digitized the flower for a sketch/illustration feel. I then resized it to better fit the label.

The current iteration of the perfume label, with a different brand font

I think I’m starting to get somewhere now. I need to play around with the borders (color, thickness, etc) as well as the color of the label itself. The brand font is better, but needs to be tampered with a bit. The orange blossom flowers need stems and perhaps leaves. This is far from its final form. Stay posted!!
