Graphic Design : Wine Labels |
Tom's distinctive approach to his wine label design, makes his work unique to the industry. He comes to the drawing board with a romantic and artistic approach. As a artist/craftsman first, Tom designs with a total concept in mind. From the initial physical appearance of the label, to the understanding of the craft of printing and application of technique. This allows Tom to design with the freedom of expression and understanding of the propitiator and the wine maker, so the image of the winery and the wine can be appropriately represented in the market place. |
