We received this testimonial from Saskia A. Prum after John’s trip to Prowein.

“Dear Mr Jewell, It was very nice to meet you personally at Prowein. Thank you again very much for your great design for our new labels. Great job of your team!”Saskia A. Prum

John was also given fantastic feed back regarding our bespoke labels and the quality of work that has been produced recently.

It’s not enough these days for websites to just look “pretty”, they need to be fully functional across a range of different platforms (desktop, tablet and mobile devices), as well as provide users with an interface that is easy to use, and our clients with a content management system that allows them to change their website at a moment’s notice.

We had all this in mind when taking onboard the task of rebuilding the Zilzie Wines website.

Zilzie were looking for a site that would reflect their new wine branding, as well provide consumers with a personalized experience that would encourage purchase through the online store, as well as repeat visits to the site.

The build process we undertake at John Jewell Design is all-encompassing and includes website analysis, concept development, social media integration, testing over multiple platforms, and even staff training. We also believe in taking a collaborative approach with our clients, and we worked hand-in-hand with the Zilzie team throughout the process to ensure that the finished product delivered well beyond expectations.

A word from Zilzie…

The e-commerce channel is growing and changing everyday, JJD was able to offer the creative vision and technical know-how to build not only an impressive looking website, but a functional shopping cart that is easy for our wine-club members to navigate. Nothing usually beats on time and on budget, but we also regained control, JJD provided a manual and training, giving us the capabilities to edit 100% of our website so that it can change and grow alongside our business.

A feminine aesthetic, a premium offering and a touch of mysticism were the key drivers of the brief in creating Athena Rosé.

This stand-alone Rosé would join the current stable of wines, however it was to be a completely unique proposition, with a specifically female target market and designed to be seated as a super premium offering within the range.

To achieve the feminine atmosphere that our client was seeking, the completed imagery features an intricate lace-like design, which is further enhanced by the use of gold foil with striking white accents. The artwork was screen printed directly onto the bottle and by using this technique we were able to achieve an elegant sense of fluidity that would not have been possible with traditional label printing methods. This also allowed the colour of the bottled Rosé to play an integral part in the design, filling the space between the roses, enhancing the beauty of the artwork and ensuring the gold foil shimmers.

The rose-patterned design wraps completely around the bottle, delivering a lush, seamless finish, while the use of minimal text allows the beauty of the design to shine through without distraction.

With a name heralded from a Greek goddess, the label has a sense of wonder, a touch of the divine, and so an image of Athena’s face in profile was incorporated into the design to tie-back to the brand name.

To underpin the feminine nature of the brand, a slim, elegant French bottle was selected, allowing the design ample room to dreamily encompass the space, and was completed with a gold foil capsule.

The elegant imagery of Athena Rosé was reinforced by its application across all packaging and marketing materials, ensuring a complete sensory experience for consumers.

A word from Mica Australia…

We’ve been fortunate enough to work with John Jewell on a number of occasions now and we’ve always been very impressed with the quality of his work. In this instance however, when it came to the final design for our ‘Athena Rose’, his work exceeded all of our expectations and we’re absolutely delighted with how the artwork turned out. With only a short marketing brief from which to get an idea of the direction we wished to take, John has come back with a design that perfectly hits the mark. It’s detailed, intricate and extremely sophisticated; a design that we feel confident will help to position the product as intended in the eyes of target consumer segments.
John Jewell is very capable and passionate designer that has an intimate knowledge of what makes for a successful wine label. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

Josh P Sawyer, Mica Australia
