the one and only!
that's why Arial is a bastard...
good you put some educational info on it (some of it is almost too small to read though) - I would have put some info too - but couldn't find anything on Arial

Nice

anyone else bored with helvetica's comeback yet... It's all getting a bit old again.

Great entry though

Just one thing:
I believe the label is a cutout print mounted to a real can... right? Well, when you were cutting the printout - you cut too much of the left hand side edge! (...and you know that! )
Call me picky but I'd like to see it redone.
(doesn't it bother anybody else?)

The nail on the index finger is a bit gruby (that's dirty/unclean for you Americans).
Call me picky but I'd like to see it scrubbed.

Its obviously a composite image - the curvature on the label is a bit out (more noticable at the bottom).

And yes that fingernail is disgusting - I demand koleslaw be banned from the competition for bringing this forum into disrepute... blah blah, falling standards, blah blah, no respect blah blah, letter to my local MP.

I'm still not convinced - if you look at the top left corner: it looks like the label is peeling off - as if it was sprayed with the blue (replaceble) spraymount... I've had that problem with lables on convex surfaces.
I just think it's done 'too quickly'
and I think we are going too far. and I started it.

tomson was right.. its a composite image! glad i could fool some of you. anyways, the label IS a fake-- wasn't dedicated enough to making a real one. and ummm my reason for the dirty fingernail is to..errr..balance the composition and add contrast to the hand..yeaaaaah

I think a "Jesus was gay" slogan that can only be viewed in ultra-violet light would add to the eclecticness of it!
