CAO Eileen's Dream Pipe Tobacco Tin

In the world of pipe tobaccos, the artwork on tins and tin labels can be typically pretty dated and poorly designed. Some producers like Tusge are raising their game with their gods series and seasons series. I decided to try my hand at a redesign of a particularly boring label design for Eileen's Dream from CAO. I changed the tin shape from a typical circle to a rounded corner diamond shape with a black coated tin instead of the usual gold. The label design uses a blend of custom and borrowed elements, but would ideally be printed on a dark forest green speckled (uncoated) paper with a mixture of foil stamps and registered emboss on the central silver elements.
