Well, I made one for empty bottles ;)
No contents? No bottle!:D
Ankhor and neodeist, you are both pioneers in an ingenious marketing strategy. Both bottle caps look good and will, no doubt, generate brisk sales. ;-)
Hi to all.
I'm new here (i registered yesterday), not so much proffesional experience, but i have wanted to participate in this Challenge...
And here i go with my first version Beer Cap , inspired on the Beer-candy mix idea that Homer Simpson Wanted to buy at the Kwik-e-markt in one episode.
From Spain, Héctor Montoya (imagine)
Héctor,
Welcome to TalkGraphics and a special thank you for your participation in my Bottle Cap Challenge.
It looks like you're a 'natural' and have picked up the workings of Xara Xtreme in almost no time. Great job on the underlying cap as well as the decorative graphic. I got a chuckle out of your Homer Simpson candy-beer theme. Keep up the good work.
BTW, most (but not all) challenges usually have a base graphic or jumping off point so it is definitely in your best interest to read the first couple of posts in a challenge thread.
I look forward to seeing you expand on your Xtreme skill set,
Harry
With the exception of the monthly scribbles, all challenges are open to interpretation by the members who may use the software of their choice and not be restricted to using a source file provided by the OP.
The Challenge forum is open to everyone, and every graphics application, natural media or photography tool you use to express yourself.
The forum was created with "fun", "sharing" and "learning" in mind, a supportive forum where everyone can participate, learn from each other, and build upon previous ideas and concepts. Imagery, ideas and concepts you post here can be used to create derivative works - for posting in this one forum only.
Héctor's submission and creating his own bottle cap base is perfectly acceptable and fits this forum's guidelines and intentions.
Ok, thanks to all. I have only made it for fun and for self-learning (i think that was the main idea :) ),and i will try to continue in that way.
As I said before , I didn't saw or try to open the file that Hay Tay gave. (I have read the previous posts, but it's the first time that I enter in this forum as a member (and third time as a visitor), and the attached fileshere were a mistery for me :o).
In addition i've enjoyed trying to imitate the cap base and I'm very pleased to know all the explanations the moderator(sledger) wrote.(I'm new here,i've read the rues faq's, but i didn't know how the challenges works ).
In any case, thanks for your opinions, and sorry about my english skill level ;)
Imagine
Héctor Montoya;)
Too true. And, as I stated, Héctor did a mighty fine job of creating his own bottle cap base. Kudos to Héctor for his superb effort.
I was just trying to save him a bit of time from having to re-invent the wheel (or bottle cap) in the future if one was already provided.
No worries,
Harry
Part of a balanced diet :D
Nice Idea John.... This Thread Challenge is a little Stopped.
Here i go with two more absurd designs to try to cheer this up. XD
P.D.-I didn't try to make'em real, just only tried to make'em funny ; ). See you later :P
Those bottle caps are lookin' good, John and Héctor.
I've been a bit busy with other things recently but managed to put together this psychedelic bottle cap to add to the growing collection. Maybe we can get the caps a poppin' again.
Cheers all,
Harry
.
really great one harry, real depth, although I would have called it
a 'psychocolate drink' ;)
Thanks, Dennis. I had fun with the perception of depth and used the straw to enhance the effect.
I might have called it 'psychocolate' but, unfortunately, I didn't think of it. The black rings could be changed to a nice chocolate brown color to match the name. When I get a chance maybe I'll make another cap incorporating your suggestion.
Some great caps have been added to this collection! Inspired by Harry's vertigo inducing cap, I resurrected a doodle I did a couple of years (centuries?) ago: if you don't remember the TV programme, it was about a tunnel ... and time :p :D
knightlight lager
neodeist > I vaguely remember that show. Some other movie or TV show used a similar device, an Hourglass slowly fading into a rotating spiral vortex. I don't remember what it was right off. There's probably more than one if the truth is known. Sounds kind of Twilight Zone-ey.
ankhor > A toast to the Knights of the Round Bottle!!! Most excellent. My first laugh of the day.
I had a run of Psychocolate bottle caps printed overnight just for you Dennis...
.
Ah thank you, very good psychocolatic taste Hay Tay.
And knightlight lager, it is mostly used against chess pains ;)
A cap for the season. Good exercise for me. I learned how to type text on a curve then remove the line.
My wifey decided she would do one as well.
Wifey's Wolfy's neat! :D
This thread, myself and TalkGraphics have received an honorable mention in one of heathenx's ScreenCasts! That would be the Episode 101 - Bottle Cap ScreenCast to be exact. How cool is that? Pretty darn cool if I do say so myself (and I do). It would have been even cooler if heathenx would have gotten my name right every time, but, hey, it's the thought and the credit that counts. So, a tip of the hat, and a big thanks, to heathenx. Almost all of the ScreenCasts are Inkscape tutorials but they can usually be ported over and done in Xara Xtreme if you apply a bit of creativity and determination. :cool:
BTW, it would be nice to have a few more bottle caps added to the collection.
Hint, hint,
Harry
Here you go Harry,
--------------------->
Nice one, haakoo! And creepy. I think the eye is following me. I can just imagine how a six pack, twelve pack, and a whole case would look... at me. At least the wee beasties appear not to be able to 'lash' out at anyone (groan).
A tip of the 'cap',
Harry
Beware messages in bottles ...
Hi Harry
nice to see this thread alive again :cool:
@INTBEL sure - like you have a better message [ if so lets hear it ;) - knocking is cheap an any idiot can do it]
Sure I have a better message, but it would be decidedly off-topic. :p
It's everything you dreamt about ... but gawd knows what it's supposed to taste like.
And a few more excellent submissions are added to the collection.
ankhor > How are you going to make any money if the product is 'FREE'? Nice cap, I'll take one.
raymond > Is that stuff something like Tequila? It has to be taken with a grain of salt or two? Very clever.
Highfield > Taste depends on what kind of Genie is getting put into the bottle, one of those classic dusty, muscle-y Genies or the 'I Dream of Genie' variety. I guess it would have something to do with your gender and gender preference, as well. I still have fond memories of Barbara Eden. I'm guessing that that is one of those new 'rub to open' caps?
Steve > Thanks and I agree with you. This thread was on life support for too long. I was already thinking of a couple of ideas for some new bottle caps when I came across that tutorial by heathenx. Coincidence? I think not (therefore I am not).
Nice work, all. I found a cap that I started and never finished. I'll be posting that one and maybe a few more when I get them done.
Let's see what everyone else can brew or bottle up,
Harry
Well it's sugar free, That is what 7up actually calls it's light version
see back to the future when he orders a drink.
"Originally introduced in 1963 as Like[4][5] (not to be confused with 7 Up's Like Cola from the 1980s), it was discontinued in 1969 due to the U.S. government ban of cyclamate sweetener. After reformulation, it was reintroduced as Diet 7 Up in 1970.[6] It was renamed Sugar Free 7 Up in 1973 then back to Diet 7 Up in 1979"
Always check the ingredients ...
thank you highfield
