Wine Label For Non-Profit

Non-profit that helps impoverished moms and their children in Ghana, Africa. They received a donation of a large quantity of nice wine, which need a label. The women they help walk all day in the heat. They carry goods such as; water, nuts, pineapples, etc... on their heads. They were looking for an abstract piece of art (oil painting style) that depicts the women carrying their goods. Goal was to get a nice label that helps tell the story of these women. 100% of the proceeds from the sale of the wine bottles will be going directly to the mothers and their children. The art (the label) will hopefully inspire people to bid more on the special edition bottles we are making.

The artwork also resonates with the saying: The sun, The moon, The truth.  - The Sun: She is charged by the sun (Fire) within her as she is glowing. She is powerful, ambitious, passionate. - The Moon: She is guided by the full moon that is around her as she is intuitive, empathic, resilient. - The Truth: Even though when she walks through the dark phases, she pursues her higher self, like a true queen. She is the ultimate truth and the creator.

African artwork with the title 'Creativity Meets Possibility '

Creativity Meets Possibility

In trying to think of a way to visually represent the tagline, I decided to use "possibility" as the jump of point, an so I thought it important to define for myself. -Formlessness. -Something incomplete and teeming with life. -The unknown beyond the horizon. It seemed to me that creativity was just a means by which to explore possibilities, so I thought it would make sense for whatever I drew to look like a work in progress. Based on the values of the brand, inclusion was a must and so I tried to represent a diverse set of individuals, collaborating and sharing the creative space, a kind of microcosm of 99designs.com itself.
