I need a design for the front of a bottle of water.
I dont have any preference, but it obviously wants to look remotely attractive.
And it only has to contain our Logo
Anyone care to do something quick 
*edit* Link works

nice idea, but why would you want a bottle to say "The webpage cannot be found" 
 links broke

You can't use Photoshop to design print work stuff if that's what you used mate. Adobe Illustator or Quark.

theres no actual reason against using photoshop as long as you use the correct size and resolution colour mode.. you can still use crop marks and bleed so i dont see what the problem it at all.
in fact going once stage deeper, photoshop still handles text and other vector graphics the same as illustrator.. so unless you want to vectorise all those images you have got then theres no point what so ever in using illustrator.

Its called IWEX (Internation Water & Effluent Exhibition).
Its for companies associated with the water authority, water treatment, sewage treatment, pumping stations etc.
We're not trying to promote anything water related, just that 90% of our work is within the water industy.
The water is there to try and make the bottle look midly attractive, if i cover it with picture of shit works and text about what we do i dont think many people will want to drink it.
It has the website address which i think is all it needs when the potential customer looks at the bottle at home etc.

Yes, i havent rasterised the text, its still all vectors.
Illustrator is a true design package, but im not a designer.

the company you work for needs a way better logo - it looks extremely dated 
i don't know what you have planned for the bottles - but if you want them printed directly - e.g no paper label etc - so therefore it can never come off speak to the company my dads works for - linnik plastics - they basically print anything on anything - u2u me for details if you want them

thanks for the info.
The company ive gone with are http://www.promosource.co.uk/index.html
£460 for 500x 550ml bottles with my label, or £550 for 1000 bottles. all crated and ready to go.
I agree with the logo, but they are reluctant to change, its 30 yrs old, and looks it :-s
