Nutritional Facts label template
In cleaning out my files, I came across an image i had originally created for a poster for one of my old improv team's shows. I was going to have an "entertainment facts" label on the poster and i wanted to make it look like ones of those nutritional facts food labels. I wanted to get it just right so i tracked down a government web site with the label guidelines. I quickly realized there are many acceptable variations for this familiar label. I threw together a basic template in Illustrator. It uses the fairly common Franklin Gothic and Helvetica Black\Regular fonts. I never actually ended up using the image, but maybe someone else could. You can grab my illustrator file. It's probably not all that easy to edit because Illustrator 9 sucks at laying out styled, tabular data (or i'm just not good at doing it). I wonder if the newer versions are any better.
