Photoshop - (Choosing Fonts) and designing a label

Today in our first session with Owain , we went on to the website DAfont.com and chose  3-5 ,or more fonts that would be suitable for our video advertisement product label.We did this by typing in our product name , choosing the fonts and then print screening these .Then i pasted them onto Photoshop , used the marquee tool to crop them and then saved this file as a JPEG.

I think the fonts that i have chosen match the freak or unique theme and will suit my product as they are all a bit strange and 'horror' like.Each font that i have chosen is different and unique.One of these fonts or one of the fonts that my other group members have chosen will be designed as a label onto our shampoo bottle .Again our product will be called 'Good For You Shampoo'. The slogan could also possibly be designed using a similar font.You can also change the colour of these fonts on Photoshop but i have yet to learn that skill.


For the second session , we were asked to design the label for our products.Using Photoshop with the previous skills i had learnt in Owain's lessons we chose a font , pictures off google images and extra information/details.In this case i used ingredients and a bar code for scanning.Discussing with my team we decided upon the dimensions and the idea to put a clown onto the label.I myself have decided to also include a picture of a woman with healthy looking hair which is also the message that we are trying to express throughout the advertisement.I combined the two images to portray a before and after look , as when you have unhealthy looking hair it can make you feel different and even ugly.So my idea is that with this shampoo, it can make you feel more confident about your hair and overall a lot happier with yourself in general.
