Rework


I tried to make the text look distressed. Does it work?

Creative Brief: Bohemian Highway

Creative Brief: Bohemian Highway Wine Bottle Redesign

I chose to redesign Bohemian Highway's California Chardonnay. Bohemian Highway is a California-based winery. Their name comes from the actual stretch of road called the Bohemian Highway that runs through California.

I want to bring the feeling of the Bohemian lifestyle into the design. I plan to use handmade materials including patterned fabrics and natural fibers, representing the artistic lifestyle most Bohemians are known for.

For the wine bottle's label, I have chosen a handwritten-looking font combined with a whimsical script font. The color scheme I chose, a muted green and a deep brown, is neutral and evocative of nature. Also, I wanted to highlight the logo with a decorative border which is very popular in modern Bohemian style. I plan to print the label on a texture paper stock and adhere it to the bottle's base. Rather than taking the transfer approach, I think the paper will add a nice texture that will complement the handmade aesthetic I want to achieve.

As for the wine's packaging I want to create a sac made out of different strips of fabric that will be hand-sewn together. The sac will also have a drawstring sewn in that will cinch around the neck of the bottle. In addition, I may also decorate the drawstring with beads and charms. Furthermore, I am considering doing a stitching of the logo on the sac. These elements will hopefully bring together the crafty handmade aesthetic that is so typical of Bohemianism.

Wine Labels Anyone???

Here is one I've been working on for a while here at Borders...I think I like working in coffee shops/bookstores. Apparently this is the place to be on Sundays. Anyway, I want to print this one some nice textured paper. Then my idea for the "box" is going to be a fabric sac-type deal, that goes over the base of the bottle but leaves the neck exposed.
