Using Fiverr for wine bottle design – takeaways & lessons

For our final project we comissioned artists on Fiverr to design bottles for us and like wine you get what you pay for. Here are some thoughts on the experience:

• Samples are generally an artists best work. Know that their samples are the best quality you could possibly receive and be okay with that. 
• Color selection is key. Make sure to show them shades and colors upfront otherwise you will be surprised by red and black color combos. 
• Leave weeks of time for revisions. The first couple drafts will likely not be what you're looking for. 
• Overall Fiverr is great because it's very cheap. We spent $7 with a couple artists to get a number of potential logos, but it is probably best if you already have an idea and need someone to iterate on it.
