Hired Guns Creative designed this whimsical eye-catching packaging for 45 North Vineyard & Winery’s line of ciders. The designs feature playful typography and colorful illustrations that draw the consumer in.
“For the design of 45 North Vineyard & Winery’s new lineup of canned ciders, we used insight into their target audience to develop a concept that would resonate: we decided to approach the labels as if they were show posters for headlining acts at the same music festival. This approach would yield highly individualized products, a brand architecture more common in the world of craft beer; our experience in this market let us move forward with confidence that the lineup would hold together as a family.”
“With this in mind, we developed a minimal design frame, leaving room for top-to-bottom illustration interacting with large custom typography. We focused on creating fun, playful artwork, all designed to flavour, representing the style of cider either metaphorically or abstractly.
