Front and back labels, astronaut illustration, bottle capsule, prototypes
01 — The storySpace Age
The brief

Bring something unexpected to wine packaging without losing the product inside the concept.

The idea

An astronaut as the focal point, with a vineyard reflected in the visor to tie outer space back to where wine comes from.

The result

A label system across the front, back and capsule, tested as printed prototypes and bottle mockups.

02 — ResearchSpace Age

Wine, meet outer space.

I gathered references for wine labels and for retro space imagery, looking for where the two could meet without losing the product inside the concept.

Finding the astronaut.

Sketches worked out the astronaut as the focal point, and how a vineyard could be reflected in the visor.
