Designing a bottle label: 1 hour vs 1 day vs 1 month
Aligning client dreams with design reality.
“Can you design a bottle label in a day?” Sure. Even in an hour. But the real question is: what kind of quality are we talking about?
More time doesn’t always mean better design. Sometimes the longer you stare at it, the worse it gets. But very often time gives designers space to research, play, recharge, and actually enjoy the work instead of rushing through layouts. Obvious, right?
If the time's tiny, the pressure’s high. Less time = weaker ideas. No depth, no spark. Just mechanical output ✌️
