Hey DD,
I'm gonna be honest here and tell you that these designs need some work. You've got a decent concept going that could end up looking great if put in the right hands. Even if it's not me, try to work work out a deal with either a professional, or student graphic designer. Correct me if I'm wrong, but think I recall you stating that you were going to start out in local gourmet and specialty shops. Whether you're in a specialty or main stram market, you're going to need a label that pops. In a sea of other sauces on a shelf, the label is what's going to set your's apart from the rest and draw attention to it. Not to mention a label design says TONS about your sauce in regard to quality. If the label looks cheap and unprofessional, odds are that your average joe shmoe consumer is going to think the contents are cheap. I know you already said that you in so many words aren't artisticly inclined and don't have the proper programs to do what it is you're striving to do, but that's why there's those of use that are able to find employment in such fields. The only time that a simple label really sells is either when a good and precise marketing stategy has been executed and/or the manufacturer is already established in the industry and name recognition alone does the trick. What I've gathered so far from your postings both here and on the HSB is that you don't have a solid game plan, so you're going to need every gimmick in the book to get off the ground. Reviews of a sauce will only go so far because the majority of consumers do not read these forums. You're gonna need something that will smack them upside the head and say "look at me!". Just some constructiive advise. If that duck that you're using is copyrighted, or is a registered trademark, you really need to come up with a logo before even thinking about a label if you're going to incorporate your logo into the prime display of the label. Anywho, I urge you to at least consult someone to get some help. Don't take this as a put down, you actually did pretty good for not having the proper resources, but it could use some improvement. Later.
