And then we scheduled our vacation for the same week…oops…time for a change in plans…I guess the Stormhoek was coming along on vacation…
We vacationed at the Jersey shore when I was growing up…lots of great memories…
Now we take our kids to the shore and we do some of the same stuff that I remember doing as a kid…I hope to pass along some of the memories…among other things, like time at the beach, crabbing, and fishing, I have vivid memories of watching the sun set over the bay…
To this day, this is still one of my one of my favorite things to do down the shore…
That brings us to the label design idea…since the wine was coming along on vacation with us…
I had wanted to photograph the wine with the sun setting in the background…I was thinking it could make a great wine label…I wanted to provide an example of customers taking pictures of the wine doing their favorite thing…and having these pictures become label art for Stormhoek…
Unfortunately, it became a case of “good idea, questionable execution”…the porch wasn’t quite facing the right direction, and quite frankly, the sunsets weren’t that good that week…
But it was the 4th of July!!!...so the pictures became the fireworks instead of the sunset…again, great possibilities…I think maybe my photography skills leave something to be desired, but hey, we tried, we had some fun…and everyone will always remember the vacation I had that free wine from South Africa that no one had ever heard of before…
I hope you like the pictures…I don’t think they’re good enough to use for label art, but I’ll bet there are other people out there who could do better with the same concept…
Everyone submit their fave pictures…I’ll bet the Stormhoek crowd would enjoy them even if they don’t need a new label design… I’m looking forward to seeing some good pictures…
In my experience, projects have the best chance to succeed when they are a group effort…
P. S… we really enjoyed the Pinotage…and I hear it’s now available in South Jersey…
looking at the pinotage and the bay
