Typepro 3 (Option B): East European Spirit Label

Vodka
 
Vodka is one of the world's most popular liquors originally made in Eastern Europe. It is a distilled substance made from water and ethanol. It was originally made in Poland/Russia and started being produced at the end of the 18th century. The initial uses of vodka were medicines and aftershaves and eventually became a beverage. The alcohol content in vodka ranges from 35 - 70% volume as it varies depending on where it is produced. In Poland and Russia the standard vodka alcohol content is 40%, in the European union it is 37.5%.

Vodka is usually drink straight, however it has been mixed in other drinks such as cocktails, soft drinks, tonics and martini. Vodka's can come with different flavourings such as fruit flavours including cherry, blackcurrant, lemon, green apple and watermelon. Other flavours such as chocolate, caramel, cinnamon, ginger and vanilla. 

I have to design a vodka label using type so I will be looking at various Russian typography and how they make it work, I will also be looking at existing Russian vodka labels then coming up with my own design.
