I'd like a design for a paper label for inside the body. Computer layout design is not my strong suit (or my interest). Does anyone have a template of a label they can share with me? I like building guitars but computer layout is not my strong suit. |

What sort of format are you looking for? I have an editable PNG version of mine, but it's pretty specific to me and isn't a very standard looking one. It's fairly easy to make one on photoshop or something and you can get images or patterns from google images to make it look a bit more interesting. |

I found there are dozens of graphic designers selling logo design on eBay. I'll give that a shot. |

You will undoubtedly find some help among the responses here. But, let me express my feeling that if you get a free label template, it'll be worth about as much as a free hand made guitar. You will probably not see the comparison I'm offering here. If you do, you probably won't care. However, I'm a career professional graphic designer and I care. I'm just sayin'... |

I think you first need to choose a general direction. (search guitar label) and go from there. Decide what info you want on it. Just a simple word doc can do. Anything can look good as long as it has some kind of border. |

I hired it out. The gal that did it was very reasonable. She came up with half a or so dozen choices (like it or not). I like to support local. I may change somewhere down the road. For now Andy Depaule has the template for shell and I can get logos quick enough if I need them. Unfortunately all the good names were taken. I'm stuck with what I have. |

(depending on the playing of course) I still remember getting a funny look from my guitar making teacher when I jokingly said I could use my own name - "Colin's" guitars |

Go to a local business that sponsors local events like 5 and 10k races. Ask them who does that graphics design work and contact them. Every town has graphics designers. Most of them will help you for fairly reasonable costs |
