Branding, graphic and communication code for a catalan wines promotion project for the domestic and international audience. A project that aims to improve the consumption and the presence of the local wines at catalan cellars and restaurants. The brand with 12 different variations (as many as wine designations of origin in Catalonia) and the synthetic graphical combine land, terroir and climate of the different D.O. through a graphical code different from the typical wine code. Within the project we worked on the brand extension for communication to the point of sale (restaurants and wineries), magazines with opinion leaders quotes about catalan wines and the different support and merchandising materials.

Colorsuper | 2008
Check out colorsuper, my newest favourite thing of the week. Punchy bold colours, hilarious characters and impeccable line work make this hard not to love.
Yo! Frustrated with my everlasting boredom this summer yet inspired by Jessica Hische and Tina Roth Eisenberg’s advice on starting side projects, I decided to embark on a side project of my own.
When it comes down to nomenclature, I like to refer to myself as an aspiring graphic designer (as opposed to communication designer) simply because I’ve always been gravitated towards the aesthetic or “graphic” side of the industry. In particular I have a weird obsession with basic images and their ability to convey meaning practically universally. Hence, it only made sense to base my project on building pictograms (of all natures, from symbols to icons to everyday objects and whatever else).
The concept is pretty broad at the moment, but I’m excited to see what will come out of it. I’ll be posting on a weekly basis so stay tuned! (And maybe I’ll find a more catchy sounding name, who knows.)
If you enjoy looking at symbols and graphics of a similar nature, go check out my side project!
