As the #1 Imported Vodka in the US, SVEDKA Imported Vodka is a staple in the liquor aisle. Its iconic band and simplistic style is a hallmark in the world of vodka. As the brand contemplated an entry in the hot, ready-to-drink category, they wanted to understand audience, competitive landscape, and packaging background to design a spiked seltzer SVEDKA-style. The brand tapped Brigade to visually strategize and design SVEDKA’s very first aluminum cans and paper shippers.

Epoch Spirits was establish for the sole purpose of bringing light to the design movements that have brought us to where we are today. During each movement there has been a very specific Epoch that has stamped it in time forever. Our job is to capture that Epoch, and applaud its history with its very own unique label.

Epoch Spirits wants to speak on the tradition of where we have come from. It's part history lesson, and part celebration of history. Each bottle is meant to be easy to understand, and the viewers should be able to match the style of design with a common design period. The styles being referenced are Foretell, Art Deco, Art Nouveau, & Russian Constructivism.

El Valao is an exquisite wine from a small plot of very old vines. This wine was rated with 92 Parker points thanks to its excellent quality.Wine strains more than 90 years old make this a unique product. The project commissioned by the owners of the winery was very clear: reach a middle-aged audience, through a fresh and young design.

Our design was based on photography as an image of the wine itself: the section of a wooden trunk where the personality of the wine is appreciated.

We get the freshness in the design through an ethereal, light typography: Futura STD

The qualitative aspect was solved through a closure for the white wax bottle. And taking care of the spaces in the composition of the label.

The result was a design that conveys the characteristics of the wine, thus increasing sales in the public chosen by the winery.

Deuce winery create their wines only from the best vintages when no compromises are made. They always think out of the box and sometimes this means they go completely crazy. And what else could one like me possibly do with a crazy wine and crazy winemakers – of course nothing by creating an eccentric wine label design.

The Double Barrel chardonnay is probably one of my best examples for this.

It is not just one of the many barrel fermented chardonnays. It is something much more special and intriguing. They used 2 types of barrels to make this wine – first they started with new American barrels and then continued with Kentucky Bourbon barrels. This is how the name Double Barrel came.

When I realized how interesting and non-traditional this technology is I was 100% decided to make an eccentric wine label design and somehow try to capture the uniqueness of the wine and embody it in my work. I did not have much time to think as the idea suddenly came to me and it was very simple and clear. As I have already known it was going to be an eccentric design, I decided to turn my new label upside down so you have to rotate the whole bottle to see what is written on the label. This was my initial idea and after that I decided to create on my Ipad an unique lettering for the Double Barrel title, which, as you could see on my photos, is the only thing that could be normally read from the whole label without any need to do extra efforts.

Hand lettering is one of my top specialties and I started making attempts to create more and more interesting lettering style. After a number of tries I finally decided to use my own hand writing with sign-painters brush in Procreate app. I have very legible handwriting and the brush tool added even more personality to its final look. After I did the lettering I continued my work on the label. Double Barrel meant ALL BLACK to me. I used the original DEUCE wine label, rotated it 180 degrees and made it all black.

I preserved the Constellation Jade Raster paper as it is one of my favorite papers and I could write a book about how to use it best. I replaced the gold hot foil stamping with black foil and to reproduce the black linear patter on the background from the original label I used 2 black inks overprinted and eventually my eccentric wine label design obtained two different blacks so we started calling it the triple black label.

I love the idea of using three different layers of black in one image as it resulted in very solid yet complex black background. It was the perfect canvas for my Double Barrel title and this time I decided to use Silk foil printing because I wanted to have high level of embossing combined with tasty gold.

When I saw the label printed I knew it was going to be one to remember.

We had a long conversation with the winery what bottle to use and finally decided to pick the Celeste bottle by Saverglass which is a bit higher level than the one we used before. The sealing is done with premium cork and then we dipped the bottle in black wax.

The final result was an appealing yet serious bottle with very eccentric wine label design and shining hand lettered Double Barrel title in gold. The wine photoshoot I did myself was real fun like the whole creative process before.

I am very optimistic we’ll have more interesting and even extraordinary wines by Deuce Winery very soon that will surely unlock my creativity and maybe have even better and bolder ideas for new eccentric packaging.

Refined and stylish packaging design for the premium beauty brand TRU COSMETICS.

How is the best way to present a high-quality Eyelash serum? LAMBRECHT DESIGN found the right arrangement: First of all create a wave element to symbolize the flow of natural eyelashes. This element, as well as the brand name and the product title is printed in a rose gold stamping foil. It's the touch of close elegance. The product title, as the the most central element on the packaging, is spotted in a screen printing technique. This makes the title embossed and generate a haptic effect. LAMBRECHT DESIGN confined in Fedrigoni's symbol card to carry all of those finishing details and to create a very special look of the whole product packaging. The packaging design was exclusively developed for TRU COSMETICS in February 2018.

El Tuerto is a classic wine from La Rioja with a modern touch. It shares its name with the river flowing by the vineyard, so we decided to skip the typical images of the winery and the land and replaced them with illustrations of the local fauna. The clear and delicate style of the labels evokes the natural environment in which the wine unfolds, highlighting and dignifying its origin. A classic design with a fresh language.

The image developed for this winery rescues the etymological origin of last name CRUZAT, in which the cross becomes the company emblem. The diagonal line is rescued as identity element, coming from the inclination of wooden wine racks where bottles rest before final disgorging. The products’ simple and contemporary style agrees the image projected with the packaging of these traditionally elaborated products. The Millesimé 2016 is a special sparkling wine that rested 10 years on its lees. The packaging reflects elegance and sophistication.

Dog owners are more likely to adopt a pet than non-dog owners. In fact, 65% of adoptions come from people who already own a dog. So to help shelter dogs find a new home, we decided to speak directly to these people through something they’re in constant contact with: dog food packages.

That's why we turned Pura Pet's packages into a new media for the cause. Instead of using purebred dogs as models, like every other dog food brand do, we used dogs that were looking for a new home. On the packages, people had all the information they needed to adopt the dogs: photo, name, gender, size and shelter's contact number.

During the first month of the campaign, adoptions on our partner shelters raised by 32%.

To select tea for someone is a kind gesture in Taiwanese culture. Each package in the Chosen Tea 1869 series contains tea leaves that have been carefully selected by Lin Huatai, the oldest tea company in Taipei. This product commemorates the year 1869, which was the all-time most prosperous year for Taiwanese tea exports. Taking the form of a mountain where tea grows, it symbolizes Taiwan’s flourishing tea culture. In 2017, the packaging design was honored by Taiwan’s Golden Pin Design Award. Chief Judge, Kazuo Tanaka commends its sentiment. “This packaging is not merely a container – it puts both the functionality and aesthetic aspect of the design into consideration, as well as highlighting the mountain tea concept.”

A project of eco-packaging subject where we designed a bag in box that was reusable and easy to use. Somriures ("smiles" in Catalan) is a package focused on a young and modern consumer who values aesthetics, as well as the functionality of the products. Someone who enjoys wine in company. The structure of the box is the main thing of this project since the common bags in box are very uncomfortable when serving a glass of wine. Therefore, we improve the system, being this more practical from the moment of purchase until the moment of serving.

The packaging works like a water dispenser when placing the cup under the tap, it is very easy to serve. When the wine is finished, the user only has to buy another bag to put it back in the packaging, making it reusable.

WALDI – Doggos Love Our Gourmet Dinners
Even if our four-legged friends like to get up to mischief and cause chaos, we know that we couldn’t live without them. Here at WALDI we understand the antics of our furry friends only too well and that’s why we wanted to do something special for them.

With nearly 17 million Dutch having their daily bread, our goal was to develop a no-nonsense proposition for Johma’s award-winning Bread & Toast salad range. The brief was simple, created a future proof design that remains true to Johma’s overall identity but is also distinctive for the Bread & Toast range and flavours.The new design should tell a story of sustainability, family values and culinary expertise.

We set out to make the ordinary special again through a new look and feel that brings to life a broad and varied pallet of flavours and is inspiring for today's demanding consumer. The new packaging evokes a sense of traditional craftsmanship and focuses on the healthy, delicious ingredients. The design also comes with the ‘better life’ hallmark and a recognisable, more playful logo. Whereas the tasty recipes on the packaging inspire you to take the product from shelf and use it in refreshing ways.

Meanwhile, Johma’s Bread & Toast range brings people together at the table. The effective rebranding shows that design is a strong sales tool that can connect to a broad audience. To top it off, Johma’s ‘Gevuld eitje’ has been awarded product of the year 2017 - 2018.

Titsey Brewing Co, a micro-brewery located on the Titsey Estate in Surrey, has launched with a collection of three unique beers, with brand identity and packaging design by PB Creative.
Inspired by the history and heritage of the Titsey Estate, Titsey Brewing Co has produced a light and fresh IPA called Leveson Buck, a Gower Wolf bitter, and a hoppy ale with the name Gresham Hopper.

Leveraging the Titsey heritage
PB Creative was initially approached by Titsey Brewing Co to design a pump clip but responded by creating a completely new brand identity that leverages the heritage of the Titsey Estate with a modern and progressive feel.

The brandmark crafted by PB Creative takes its inspiration from the crests of two of the most prominent families from the estate, Gower and Gresham, and their family emblems, the wolf and the grasshopper.

By bringing these historical elements together, and adding a chalice to represent brewing, PB Creative crafted a modern take on the heraldic shield. The resulting logo is unique and ownable, presenting a cohesive link between the heritage of the estate, the crests and the brewery.

Modern and progressive brand story
Pete Hayes, Co-Founder and Director, PB Creative, says: “With competition so strong in the micro-breweries sector, we knew that the provenance of Titsey Brewing Co was key to the success and future growth of the brand.

“Tapping into more than 1,000 years of history across the Titsey Estate, we’ve delivered an identity that gives a contemporary account of this heritage with a brand story that feels modern and progressive. The passion and vision of the three Titsey Brewing Co partners was clear from our first meeting with them. In return for our strategic and creative contribution, we’re now proud to be equity holders in this fast-growing, young brewery.”

Craig Vroom, Owner, Titsey Brewing Co, says: “When we began working with PB Creative all we had was the brand name. While we were keen to draw on the history of the Titsey Estate, we didn’t want our brand or beers to look old fashioned or dated.

“Over the past few months, PB Creative has delivered a cohesive brand that celebrates the heritage of the estate but speaks to a modern consumer, telling our unique story with a modern and progressive twist. The guys at PB have been amazing to work with.”

We developed a brand new selection of classical sorts of beer for brewery “Dogma”.

We had a task to make a universal label for the basic selection of classical sorts from this brewery. The new style should draw a line between beer from the author’s beer assemblage of the brewery and the well-known popular classical sorts. In spite of the universality of the label, we had a strong desire to demonstrate the originality of each sort.

The objective to create a simple and as clear as possible image, which is also able to emphasize territorial affiliation to the native Siberian land, put an idea into our heads that the message should be built around geography. The concept was born - “Siberia is a field of good beer”.

It was suggested to use topographical maps of the area. Relief and colour palette change depending on the definite sort and its indicators. Somewhere there is more bitterness, somewhere the density is higher. Fine details are also made in aesthetics of ancient cartographic legends.

Lukas/Markus by Kalle Sanner is the result of a photographic project spanning over a decade. Located in the Western Cemetery in Gothenburg, architect Sven Brolid’s two mirrored chapels Saint Lukas and Saint Markus were designed and built in the 1960s, an era when Swedish functionalism was at its very peak.

Kalle Sanner (b. 1978) lives and works as a photographer in Gothenburg, Sweden. In addition to self-initiated projects, Sanner works on commissions for cultural institutions, design studios and architectural firms. He is Head of the Photographic Department at Akademi Valand in Gothenburg.

Sanner started photographing Brolid's building over ten years ago, after having discovered the building and site while walking around the area. He was drawn to the building's position and to how all of its materials harmonized. From the outset of the project, Sanner didn't have a clear idea of what form it would take, instead trying to remain open to the aspect of time and new influences. According to the photographer; both the images and his way of approaching image making has transformed during the project's decade long duration. The building and the shifting seasons with their changes in light has provided a surface to try different types of images on, all shot with a large format camera.

The book also contains an essay, titled Earthbound, by Karl Palmås (b. 1976). Palmås is a Gothenburg-based social researcher, acting as associate professor at the Science, Technology and Society division at Chalmers University of Technology. His most recent work investigates the built environment as it relates to social models and political imaginaries.

The book’s clothbound hardcover features an embossing with partial, transparent foil, echoing the iconic facade of Sven Brolid’s building. When hit by light, the partial foil spells out Gothenburg's area code '031', on the back cover. On the front cover, abstract letters form 'VKG', an abbreviation for Västra Kyrkogården which was also Sanner's working title for the project.

Lukas/Markus is printed on uncoated paper from Arctic Paper and Fedrigoni on a Komori HPTpress. It includes two double foldouts and, while the head-band and endpaper (from G.F Smith) is matched to the chapel's interior textile details, the cloth used for the cover and the sand coloured paper used for the text segment of the book both correspond with the building’s facade. The crematorium’s oxidized copper chimney guided the selection of the turquoise silk bookmark.

The book, which is co-published by ll'Editions and Blackbook Publications, is also available as a special edition of 30 copies. Divided into three sets of 10, the special edition includes a signed copy of the book with one of three c-prints, signed and numbered by the photographer and an embroidered handkerchief. The inclusion of the handkerchief was informed by the book’s last image, depicting an empty bench in the Markus chapel with a forgotten handkerchief on it. It becomes a symbol of loss and grief, as the chapels most frequently host funerals. The embroidered monogram is a hybrid between the ll'Edition's and Blackbook Publication’s monograms, specially designed for this co-publishing venture. The special edition is housed in a clothbound, hot-foiled clamshell box, handmade by Flodstrands Bokbinderi. As it happens, the bookbinder is located just next to the Western Cemetery.

Lukas/Markus was released on the 6th of May 2018, at Hasselblad Center in Gothenburg, during the finissage of the Hasselblad Foundation’s 'Published', a major exhibition on the history of the Swedish photobook. During the release, a panel discussion with Kalle Sanner and Karl Palmås, in conversation about the project, was moderated by curator and writer Niclas Östlind. The discussion was followed by a book signing in the shop of the Gothenburg Museum of Art.

The trade edition of the book and the special edition are both available for purchase through the ll'Editions webshop and from selected retailers around the world.

IDENTIFY – t-shirt with your custom embroidery
You can choose what will be embroidered on your t-shirt. It could be initials, monogram, date or any other text.

LEGEND
There’s an ancient myth that it doesn’t matter what kind of relationship two people are in at the time, or whether these two lovers are worlds apart. If they’re meant to be, they will always be connected by a “red thread”—although it might not happen until the end of the road.

This red thread, known as destiny, can never be broken, no matter what happens. It doesn’t matter how long it takes you to meet this person, or how long you spend apart. Even if you live on other sides of the world, the thread will stretch so that your hearts are always connected. The thread is with you from birth, and it spins throughout your life.

It’s said that the moon emerges every evening to meet each newborn and unite these new souls with a red thread that’s tied around her finger. It will decide your future, and guide your soul through life so that you’ll never be lost, even at the edges of the earth.

T-SHIRT
For the base we took best t-shirts on market. They made from natural 100% cotton, which is soft and comfortable. We found nice style, for perfect fit.

You can choose from two models (men and women), 3 colors of t-shirts (white, gray and black) and 3 colors of your custom embroidery (white, black and red). You can choose any custom text less than 50 symbols.

PACKAGING
We though about packaging as well. So it will be pleasure to receive or present this t-shirt.

This is one of school projects. I made a branding and design logotype and pancake. The location is in a city named, Mutambu in Burundi in Africa.

The name represents African culture. Mutambu has great coffee and handcrafted products, so I called the brand Amura. This branding represents eco-friendly and natural ingredients. All the materials were extracted from plants in Mutambu. These cosmetics are 100% natural.

I used leaves as my cosmetics' graphic to represent the natural world. I made leaves in round shapes, because my typography was curved. The typographical shape resembles handicrafts in Mutambu.

A task:
The Mistral Trading company commissioned us to create a line of oatmeal with dessert flavors. It was necessary to create an ideologically new design, while maintaining the brand identity of the brand and its architecture. There are eight popular flavors in the line, among them cheesecake, tiramisu, milfei, panakota.

Decision:
The main target audience for the new product are women, who want to have a healthy breakfast. But also they do want to pamper themselves with something delicious. The new line satisfies both wishes: porridge - the ideal healthy option for breakfast and the dessert fillers are responsible for a bright taste. Individual packaging - one taste - one serving - emphasizes that it is an opportunity to pamper yourself, not designed to share pleasure.

When it comes to dessert flavors, we decided that the new line should be primarily aesthetic attractive and noticeable, and food zone should tempt. This determined the stages of work: the choice of a distinctive color scale, careful study of the food zone, atmospheric storytelling for the reverse side.

To create delicious accents, we pre-rendered mock-ups with the food zone, and then held a photo session in Sergei Martyakhin’s studio. Especially for photographing sketches, we made the miniature desserts that fit into a teaspoon.

Eye-catching purple was chosen as the primary color to emphasize the exclusivity of the dessert line. At the same time, the packaging has preserved the brand style and architecture of the brand due to the recognizable bright ribbon and sun rays presented in the Mistral breakfast lines.

The reverse side of the package is a kind of romantic journey through the countries where famous desserts were invented. Photography and story create a special atmosphere like you have breakfast in a cozy European coffee house.

Dessert line "Mistral" - a great way to fill your morning with pleasure, choosing an oatmeal with a bright taste of your favorite dessert.
