1930’s Canned Food Labels

Perhaps it’s because I’m a farmer’s daughter, or perhaps it’s because there is design inspiration everywhere you turn at the grocery store... I really wanted to design some beautiful canned food labels. After researching the history of canned food and its designs throughout the decades, it’s apparent that food manufacturers really gave it their all during the 1930s. For example, a lot of cans had gold embossing on them. GOLD. I tried to channel that feeling into these cans for authenticity. 🫘
