:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/136/136723/attachment_136723363 "The brief was for a re-design of the brand aesthetic in order to allow for a more consistent and recognisable wine offering, whilst still ensuring that each varietal and vintage had a unique identifier.
The brand is a unique Australian wine brand built on the belief that “Wine ain’t that serious” and with a goal of making the wine experience approachable.
This concept uses geometric shapes in a nested composition, and by changing the placement of the nested shapes and patterns, along with colours for each varietal, this would ensure that each varietal would have a unique identifier, yet still fit in with the brand aesthetic.")

The deliverables included the logo and branding, a pattern for the internal pouch, development of the physical wine boxes along with concept artwork, and artwork for the outer shipping box.
The client has since won a number of awards for this innovative product and I am proud to have played a role in its development.")

About
I was a corporate photographer who discovered her love for all things design. Coming from a marketing and advertising environment I am naturally drawn to branding design. Drawing is fun, creating is priceless!
I see myself as a Crime Scene Investigator for design - establishing a client's profile from the specifics of the brief is part of the challenge and investigating the 'clues' and compiling all the facts into a design in order to 'crack the case' is what I enjoy most.
