nampak packaging design award 2009 - you-niverse wine packaging

nampak hosted a packaging design competition in 2009 with the theme of space.

you had to design wine bottle packaging.

my design won the best professional design.

my concept was you-niverse.

the name for my concept is a play on words, i think it works really well.

it was all about you and your wine drinking experience.

it's not just a package it's an experience.

i wanted my packaging to be multifunctional so it doubles up as a lampshade.

the package is dye cut with little holes that correspond with the star signs on the package.

so you and your loved one can enjoy a nice glass of wine under the stars.

it turns any room in your house into your own personal planetarium.

a very unique romantic experience to share with someone special.

i also designed in store posters that go along with the packaging.

i really loved how this project turned out.

it turns any ordinary evening into a beautiful memorable one.

i think design should always have an impact on our lives and it should help us build memories.

design makes my life richer, fuller and more beautiful everyday, and i hope that i do that for someone every day.
