The Swartland Country Market has been an annual event, held by the Santam Swartland Wine & Olive Route, in October for the past few years and this year it was given a bit of a freshen up design-wise. I used a sunburst and a picnic basket showing some of the product you could buy at this event with all the fresh produce, delicious food and wines on offer.
Above shows a poster design, small newspaper ad and a DL flyer.
This brochure was given a fresh, new design in July 2016. We changed the layout from the previous design to feature each town in the region on one side including contact details for each tourism office.
On the reverse we included a smaller map showing the main connecting roads linking the towns, an events list and a list of establishments along some different themes like Outdoor & Adventure and Food & Wine.
This is the range of wine labels I’ve designed for Wildehurst Wines. The original ‘badge’ was painted by an artist for the owner and I recreated it in vector format and added the Schnauzers, Aloes, the bottom scroll and a few other elements. The Velo range of wines uses an image of the owner’s husband as a young man with one of his best friends and their Velo motorbikes. Below is the newest addition to the range, which is the 2016 Chenin Blanc Méthode Cap Classique.
Above is a shot of the bottles on the production line – all shiny and new! We did metallic gold on a clear adhesive label to give the effect of clear glass. The neck tag repeated the gold on a black background – a very classy finish.
The Swartland in Parys event was held at Stonehenge Conference Centre in the Free State in May 2014. The weekend event brought the food, wine, arts & crafts and all that is good in the Swartland – to Parys, and included live entertainment, cooking demonstrations and more. Above shows the logo I created as well as the Facebook cover image used on the Facebook page promoting the event.
Above shows three adverts placed in the Beeld newspaper over a period of weeks before the event. First a generic ad, then some more info and finally showing the program of events.
Above shows two A5 flyers, which were printed leading up to the event. The information was also posted on Facebook during the time leading up to the big weekend.
And lastly, a full page ad of the program of events (which was printed in a special outer cover of the local newspaper) and also an A3 poster, which was put up at the venue.
This re-design was completed in 2013. We went through five stages of changes before the design was finalised and client is very happy with the result.
