Me and Ellie spent some time translating our initial designs into repeatable patterns that we could print onto our labels, using illustrator. I haven't used illustrator much so Ellie did a lot of the hands on work I think I learned a lot about illustrator from this process though! We made three patterns, each different leaves and in the colour scheme we decided on. I think these turned out really well! They definitely look more polished having been made in illustrator!
Rowan then turned these patterns into labels, using the dimensions of the jars we bought. Instead of the tropical leaf design we used Rowan's leaf pattern for the orange label, which I think suits the label and goes with the other two designs well! She also added what the product is / scents etc which is a really nice touch because it makes it look more legitimate and professional, shows we have thought about the products and the consumer. There were two options, clear label with coloured leaves or black label with clear leaves, so the colour of the product would fill in the pattern (Ellie helpfully made some coloured product for us!)
We managed to get a place at drop in because unluckily there were no print slots left! It was possible to print out the designs onto clear stickyback plastic as well which was life-saving as we could stick the labels straight onto the jars after trimming them down. I'm really happy with how they look now they're printed!
