Ask for a flat label layout first, then a second prompt to show it wrapped on a can.

What you will get

A wrap-around craft beer can label with bold illustrated artwork in a limited palette, hand-drawn lettering, small text areas for ABV and volume and a retro poster style, shown as a flat label and as the finished can.

Common mistake

The beer name and the small text are unreadable.

Fix: Keep the name to one or two short words and leave the ABV and volume areas blank. Add the exact figures yourself and check your local labelling rules before printing.

Also watch for

The can mockup shows a stretched or broken label. Follow the tip: make the flat label first, then use a second prompt to show it wrapped on a can.
Too many colours make the artwork busy. Say “only three flat colours plus black, bold shapes, no gradients”.

Try a variation: stout version

Change the style to stout and the theme to “a lighthouse in a storm at night” in “black, cream and copper”. Darker beer styles often suit darker, moodier art.

Fix the spelling so the text reads exactly as in my prompt, letter by letter. Keep everything else the same.
