Erie Shores Vinyard

Erie Shores is a family run vineyard on Lake

Erie’s North Shore. They create quality award

winning wines at affordable prices. The owners’ son Andrew has joined the team and ensures a bright future for the business.

​

As competition grows, it is important for Erie

Shores to upgrade their branding and packaging, accurately representing the quality of wines they produce. 

​

One possible direction is to combine their community passion with the business’ identity. By working with local artists, each bottle could be given a unique character while using a text layout template to provide continuity across the entire product range. 

​

There is also an opportunity to do cross promotions with the artists and introduce Erie Shores wines to the artist’s clients. This would be done through print, web and social media as well as combined events and promotions.

Mary's Cupboard Label Designs concept

For food products purchased and consumed in the vinyard, the belly band has a map on the top that provides information on where seating and dinning options are available throughout the vineyard

Mary's Cupboad

COVID gave many of us time to rethink what was important. Family, tradition, and great quality foods are examples of what we value. Plus, I needed something to keep me creating and â€‹thinking. 

​

Mary's Cupboard is what we came up with. It is based on classic family recipes (mostly from our great, great aunt Mary). The photo is actually the entire Campbell family in the 1930s. Aunt Mary is seated bottom left. 

​

Who knows and one day this could become reality?
