Graphic Design Contests

**ryanmargolin** · 05:58 PM

Hi everyone!

I am looking for someone who can make a plain product look like a million dollars!!
It doesnt have to be something over the top but I will look at anything that is put on the table. We are looking for something modern thats a bit of eyecandy at the same time as we are getting to the stage where we will be selling to the home user and not just salons and clinics.

We manufacture adhesives, removers and exfoliates for the hair replacement industry. We have been around for 15 years and unfortunately the designs that were made for the products at the beginning still stand to this day. In my opinion they are very dated.

I am only working for the company a short time and feel that the whole line of products needs a face lift.

We are starting with one product and if we can find the right person and design, we will try out some other products that we have.

The product we are starting with is called New Demensions. You can go to the products tab and click on adhesives on the website prohairlabs.com to have a look at it . It is the 3rd product down from the top.. The starting label will be 6.5 inches (width) and 2.5 inches (high). The label is see through, (clear) so there will be no background color on the label design. There is alot of wording to go on the label but as for now I am only concerned about getting the name of the product looking the best it can. There are 3 different sizes to this product but if we find the right design i will release the other smaller sizes to the person chosen.

This is an ongoing project. There will be $40.00 in it for the label chosen for this product and will be payed through Paypal. You can email me if you have any other questions at ryan.margolin81@gmail.com or you can send on submissions. I have uploaded one of size of the label already for you to see. Hopefully this will give you an idea of what I want to stay away from. It is a complete redesign I am looking for with the wording to stay the same.

Thanks!

***We are also looking for a redesign of our company logo Professional Hair Labs. The one we have at the moment we are happy with but if someone could come up with a more eyecatching logo then that will be considered too* there will be an extra $50.00 if we use the logo as well. Good Luck!!

Here is something i did wanted to keep it simple.

**ryanmargolin** · 10-29-2009, 05:49 PM

That looks good. As I said before Im not quite sure what I am looking for at the moment I will know once I see it that it can be a basis to work from. I am thinking maybe some sort of design in the background. I like the use of colors you have in this one though.

**afcbob** · 10-29-2009, 06:42 PM

I have added the text to it do you still want a background

**ryanmargolin** · 10-29-2009, 11:38 PM

looks good could you try something in the background like a design of some sort? thanks!

**afcbob** · 07:53 AM

Let me know what you think now.

Sorry forget this post.

**afcbob** · 10-30-2009, 08:10 AM

How is this.

**ryanmargolin** · 10-30-2009, 10:24 AM

the woman silhouette can't work on this product unfortunately. any other ideas floating around?

**xpressions** · 11-02-2009, 05:04 PM

Here's a first draft:

**ryanmargolin** · 11-02-2009, 05:26 PM

Hi again, looks a little plain to me. I like what you did with the ND logo part of it but after thinking about it I think we need something very eye catching. I have noticed alot of the competitors in the hair industry have very eye catching prints on thier bottles. I am going to keep looking at this label to see if i can give you any more feedback on it! Thanks again

**xpressions** · 11-02-2009, 05:36 PM

Oh, I see. You are moving away from the "sterile" look. Maybe will try another in a day or so. It will definately help if you could post samples of styles you like.

**ryanmargolin** · 05:52 PM

ill get some samples together for you and post the links in here. I am aiming to get it looking more modern and slick (if thats the right use of the word haha) thanks!

**RobK** · 11-03-2009, 04:55 AM

Here is a concept, let me know what you think. A little more modern and eye catching, I believe a good improvement over the original.

**ryanmargolin** · 11-03-2009, 12:15 PM

Here are some links to samples that I think we are looking to follow. they are pretty simple yet classy looking. I also need to incoporate the company name Professional Hair Labs into the label. Hopefully someone can nail this on the head

thanks again!!!

sorry I changed the positioning of the font a bit, seems to suit the bottle packaging more

**ryanmargolin** · 11-05-2009, 09:32 PM

that looks good, thank you. i will take this back with me to see what my boss thinks. thanks

**ryanmargolin** · 12:32 PM

Ok so I was talking to my boss and he was saying that he wanted to have a set template to the label which can be used on the rest of the labels in the product line. I attached a picture of the logo which he said he wants on the front of the label too only instead of black he wants it in red and if you could try to work the company name Professional Hair Labs into the front of the label, maybe beside the logo to see if that would work. I also need to see the words "Often Imitated. Never Duplicated." somewhere on the label

**orionoreo** · 11-06-2009, 03:23 PM

I'm not sure what type of templating he was looking for, the element and structure can stay the same cross product and he can even have different color schemes for different products... just an idea
