DESIGN NAME: LadyPenguin P Wine Tasting Set
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Wine Package
INSPIRATION: Synaesthesia is the Key word of this design. Typo-taste Synaesthesia and illustration-taste Synaesthesia.
We choose six kinds of typography and six animals to symbolized six characteristic of grape species, and the special flavor of species is also illustrated as beautiful scenery on the label.(like pine and cigar in cabernet sauvignon)
Dante stands for Gruner Veltliner, Didot represents elegant Riesling, and Art Nouveau-style fonts for Moscato, Futura (Inspired) for The new world representative Syrah, the gentle Optima for Merlot.
Also, the classical layout is much more acceptable than the geometric or simple design in wine market of China, We are in a different stage and context of Wine drinking than western country.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Different from western market, China consumer is still unfamiliar with wine. Most of the consumer don't even know the basic knowledge of wine species, not to tell the subtle flavor difference.
This is a tasting set choosing from six different grape species, and we used Six kinds of typography to symbolized six characteristic of grape species, which can be known as Typo-Wine Synaesthesia.
Figurative animal illustrations also represent its various features. (like Swan for Riesling, Elephant for merlot..etc.) And also the flavor is shown in the illustration, like mineral and honey flavor in Riesling.
The label-reading process is a learning process that not only provoke the interest to the consumer with the product it self, but also the great wine culture that originated from Greek and Rome Empire.

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: The two main background of Chinese wine market that different from Western Wine market is, the lack of basic wine knowledge of ordinary consumer, and the addiction to the traditional and classic style of wine label. A minimalism graphic style wine label which hit the market in Europe will totally meet it waterloo in Chinese Market, the consumer still mania with the traditional and classic style.
So we made a renovation on the idea layer and link the wine culture to font culture as a metaphor. By doing this, We change the dull instruction and learning process to a vivid and eye-catching procedure. the Learning process is like a decoding process that not only provoke the interest to the consumer with the product it self, but also the great wine culture that originated from Greek and Rome Empire.
CHALLENGE: The Brand Ladypenguin is not only a wine seller, but also a wine online society which has numerous online followers (up to 10,000,000). The CEO Karla Wang graduated from Brown University/Le Cordon Bleu and has her own online wine program and her wine tasting text book with her original system. So the product of Ladypenguin is better to be both commercial and educational. We perfectly achieved this hard goal with this design.
The information about the species is usually with a dull instruction book or words. But a integrative etching-like illustration solve the problem with a perfect answer.
