Creating custom labels that actually surprise and even excite readers is actually very easy. You will just need to decide on the right design approach that will match your target audience.

In this guide, I will give you five very special and often surprising design moves that should help you achieve that excited and even surprised reactions with your labels. Just try to use one or even a combination of the design moves below and see how they can help you.

The super-sized approach.

Size is the simplest thing that you can adjust to surprise your label readers. Going for the super sized approach is one of the best and easiest ways to actually achieve this. People cannot deny and cannot resist a large type label.

They will always glance at it and ultimately read it because they are curious about something that is that big. So whatever your label content is, if you do use the super sized approach, you can guarantee yourself a really surprising and exciting label that people will always look at.

The intense color approach.

Another simple way to actually surprise your label audiences is to use the intense color approach. Intense and very vivid type colors always elicit some sort of reaction from people. By using those very intense colors in your labels, you can easily surprise and excite them.

Use very intense “hot” colors like red, yellow and orange to add energy to your labels, or you can also use very cool colors like blue, green, and violet to add more serene and relaxing emotions. As long as those colors are intense, you can make your labels a lot more visible, interesting and exciting of course.

The distinctive shape approach.

It is also very simple to actually just change the shape of your labels from the typical rectangular label to a more distinctive shape. People get really surprised and of course become more curious if they see full color labels with shapes other than the rectangular shape.

So if you do have a few design skills and create distinctive label templates with customized shapes on your own, you might want to try this great approach. Believe me, shapes can really matter a lot in making your labels more interesting, visible and ultimately exciting as well.

The “flashy” approach.

You can also try to go all out and become “flashy” with your labels. For a more exciting approach to your designs, you can make things gleam, twinkle and flash with the right embedded materials in your color labels.

From using glitters, to using metallic inks and reflectors, it is all about adding that shine and gleam to your label itself. Because of these materials, your labels should have the ability to shine and reflect in the presence of light, making them a lot more visible, interesting and of course exciting to see.

The dead simple and honest approach.

For a very alternative kind of exciting and surprising poster, you should go for the dead simple and honest approach. This approach involves using the simplest kind of design and the most honest kind of content in your labels.
