I have close to 300 dahlias planted this year. I normally hand write labels for identification. This year I am trying out a new system. I have a spreadsheet on Google that I list all of my dahlias. I exported the sheet to an OpenOffice format (.ods). Using OpenOffice I created an OpenOffice database. Then I used the Label function in OO to generate labels. I used Avery 1X2 5/8 labels with a laser printer. I had a ton of these address labels from a previous life. The plant sticks (markers from www.dpind.com) that I use are only 5/8 inches wide, so I had to fold the label over. Not shown in the photo, the reverse side has some additional plant info (in a smaller font). Time will tell if these labels will last through the season. I normally use Sharpie industrial pens. Normal ink tends to fade out quickly. This whole process was very easy to do. However, I did spend a lot of time checking out different fonts. Detailed instructions on how to print labels from OO can be found on the web. Printing labels like this will also help quite a bit when I store the tubers over winter.

The branding process of “Fertico” company also consisted of: label design, package and box design. Since the “Fertico” company has a variety of products which will be packed differently we modified the design and adapted it to fit to all package variations perfectly. One of the more inspirational modifications was to find the suitable colors, materials and paper quality. We relied heavily on the modern printing technology.
The goal was for the brand to reach the targeted audience (customers who were already using different gardening products) in the right way. With carefully planned branding campaign and excellent marketing plan we reached our goal. Catalog design, brochures, flyers, business cards and other promo material for the advertising purposes represent a part of total design process and each and every one of these items was designed and developed with a lot of patience, effort and professionalism.
We have managed to create new visual esthetics of the clients company, corporative design, a brand.
This new visual identity of “Fertico” company has high and very strict standards which made the targeted audience easier to inform and win over thus making the “Fertico” brand unique and more visible to the market. Every potential user of “Fertico” product receives all of the necessary information regarding a product, service and other details on a unique and interesting way which is the very essence of branding process.
Powers Gold Label Blended Irish Whiskey
Triple Distilled, est. 1791
Now I’m typically a scotch guy when I’m at home, but if I’m going out and plan on flasking I hit the whiskey cuz let’s face it, scotch in a flask would be weird. It’s better sipped in the company of good friends or a good book with something like Bonnie “Prince” Billy or Curtis Mayfield playing on the stereo. It isn’t conducive to squatting down on a crowded dance floor and knocking back a shot out of sight of security or irritable bartenders who work in places that dole out weak pours with high prices (suck it, 45 North).
So I had a night with the homies planned and went to get my usual Kilbeggan. Next to it was this a bottle of Powers Gold Label and it was on sale, bringing it down to the price of Thee Killa B (OK, I’ll file that nickname. Sorry). Being a shrewd consumer I thought “Well shit, if this is usually more expensive, then it must be better! And I can get it for a limited time at this reduced price. Score one for the AFTS!”
Score one? Not quite.
Cuz this stuff sucks.
For real.
Clearly I fell for the oldest trick in the book. The ol’ “Put gold on it, people will think it’s fancy” ruse. Man, what a maroon I am, aye? A true, dyed in the wool rube.
This stuff tastes like someone took some bottom-shelf shit and snuck it onto the middle shelf. Like your kids had been sipping it on the sly and refilling it with lighter fluid and eye drops so you wouldn’t notice the levels drop.
It tastes like someone distilled it in a plastic gin and aged it in an old metal barrel that mobsters used to dissolve snitches in with lye and acid. Then they stored it for three years in a plastic bottle and right before shipping they transferred it to a glass bottle so no one would suspect.
This just reinforces my distaste for all things gold: gold teeth, gold lamè loincloths, gold spray paint (not even good for huffing since you end up looking like you just ate CP-30’s asshole), I guess now that I brought him up CP-30 is on the list, Richard Scarry’s Goldbug (Google it… OK, I used to love it as a small child. I just needed an obscure gold reference).
And now I can add Powers Gold Irish Whiskey to the list. I haven’t tried Goldschlager but I’m pretty sure anything that has to have gold flakes in it to make it sell is too gimmicky to taste good. You know what, I’m just gonna blindly throw that on the list too.
Anyhoo Powers: This is horrible, horrible shit.
I made name labels for the kids' things using this project:

I didn't iron the raw edges under on the labels I sewed on, and then I zig-zag stitched, and some of the edges frayed right out of the thread with the first wash. I think this problem wouldn't present itself if I had ironed. I just totally forgot that step.
LABEL WHORE....Those old labels from a bygone era
LABEL WHORE is all about LABELS ON CLOTHING and folks who LOVE them!
Vintage labels have awesome graphic design. So, run to your local thrift shop, vintage shop, or, hella yes, your own closet and PHOTOGRAPH THE CLOTHING LABEL for LABEL WHORE.
Of course 'vintage' gets the AWESOMENESS, but designer or regular labels on clothing will do fine, too.
This group is to HIGHLIGHT the clothing LABEL only, and NOT the article of clothing. So, no full clothing shots, and none with people in the clothes , no matter how hella cool you look in it.
It is a PUBLIC GROUP , so keep it SAFE for EVERYONE. (Hey, budding clothing designers start young, you know.)
And, even the group is called LABEL WHORE, yes, that is an edgy term but really, it's a term everyone uses. After all, it's in the dictionary, well, ok, not the everyday dictionary that schools use, but it is in MY dictionary.
NO BULLYING, NO RUDENESS, and NO TRASH TALK on photo comments in the group...
Cleverness counts. And oh my, finding that gem like 'STRAIGHT BOTTOM' label...well, I have to tell you. I almost passed out when I saw that label on a shirt. Really, like I mean, passed out cold right there in the thrift store. (Can you imagine? Hello 911, we have a LABEL WHORE who fainted over the sight of an original Giorgio Armani label here at G.W.! So, like, if that ever happened to you, then this is YOUR group...you LABEL WHORE!)
Absolutely NO photos that would be deemed inappropriate for a large audience...THESE ARE PHOTOS OF CLOTHING LABELS ONLY...got it?, Ok...now have fun, and enjoy...YOU LABEL WHORE, YOU.
