The Terra Alta region has experienced the passage of numerous cultures. Ilercavònia, Almodí and Domus Pensi are small discoveries, vestiges of the presence of these cultures in our land that have left their mark on how we work and how we cultivate the vine. Typographically, the labels reflect this concept, with an upturned letter ‘A’ giving shape to a logotype that reinforces the duality of Alta Vins.

The Balvenie Malt Master, David Stewart, is one of the most respected and longest serving in the whisky industry. To celebrate his remarkable 50 years with the distillery, The Balvenie released an extremely rare 50 year old. Here Design’s idea was to represent the passing 50 years using 50 layers of wood. Crafted from 49 slices of native Scottish timbers, the 50th ring is brass engraved with the story of 50 years of The Malt Master’s career.

Nongfu Spring is the leading bottled water manufacturer in China. Produced for high-end restaurants, bars and hotels, these bottle designs feature eight different plant and animal species from Moya Spring, at the foot of Changbai Mountain – the volcanic region bordering China and North Korea that produces the water. The illustrations by Natasha Searston pay homage to the source by depicting indigenous species. The result is a delicate and beautiful set of bottles you’d want to keep forever.

Springs’ Smokery nestles in the South Downs in Sussex. For three generations, they have used nothing but traditional dry-salting and logs of Sussex oak to produce their prime smoked salmon.

Using the charcoal from their brick kilns, Distil Studio have drawn a series of expressive marks and textures born from the very heart of their process. Such a creative yet simple solution, right down to the nod to the wood chunks in the apostrophe.

Capturing the spirit of the marine enthralled district of El Raval in Barcelona, this label remains inventive as the relationship between product and package change.

Witty ideas, clever solutions, playing with negative space is hard to do. Even harder is convincing clients to go in this direction. 50% of being a designer is being able to solve problems creatively for clients. The other 50% is being able to sell that solution. Turner Duckworth not only managed to create such a clever, distinctive identity for Coca Cola but they managed to sell in through a huge corporation. To me that’s what makes this project extra special.

A logotype for a food range with kid goat as it’s main ingredient. The solution for the identity is just type as image – pure pure graphic design at it’s simplest and most effective. So reductive yet so charming and characterful.

When you take a brand, established in the 1960s, suffering from both fatigue and increased competition and add design heavyweights like NB Studio, Michael Wolff and Ivan Chermayeff (amongst others) into the mix, this is what you get.
