Italian wines(Poster)

These are feature announcement posters for the monthly Vinotheque wine magazine, with a theme title of “A great variety of excellent Italian wines.” After considering how to handle this title, I got the idea of “using the magazine as a stage where a variety of distinctive wines are involved in a contest.” Using the alphabet, one poster shows “a scene where hot-blooded wines from across Italy gather, showing off themselves, when the stage curtain opens,” while the other shows “a scene where wines line up in a buzz, in order, for a greeting after the curtain falls.” I sincerely thank the chief editor and the other staff, who always adopt my daydream-like graphics.
