Grand Interview
Your innovative approach to showcasing organic wines through the paper cut style in Simple Bio Wine Illustration has garnered significant attention - could you elaborate on how this artistic choice helps communicate the natural essence of bio wines?
At first, the illustration style for this project wasn’t clearly defined. I was simply going through references when I came across an interesting technique, and decided it was worth trying out. It was only later that I realized how well the paper cut style fits — paper and wine are both deeply connected to nature and organic materials, so the style turned out to be a perfect match.
The light green color palette in Simple Bio Wine Illustration beautifully captures the sustainable spirit of organic wines - what inspired your specific color choices and how do they enhance the storytelling aspect of your catalogue design?
I wanted the colors to feel like they could breathe. The light green immediately evoked a sense of calm, freshness, and natural simplicity. It reminded me of vineyards at dawn, when everything is still quiet and you can feel the strength of nature. That’s the atmosphere I wanted to convey through the catalogue — the silence in which good wine is born.
Simple Bio Wine Illustration masterfully combines traditional paper cut aesthetics with digital techniques - could you walk us through your creative process of sketching in Illustrator and finishing in Photoshop to achieve this distinctive look?
Simple BIO Wine was my second project in this style. It all started with numerous pencil sketches on paper, where I explored the best composition — mountains, rivers, and all the elements that made up the overall landscape. Once I finalized the sketches, I photographed each one and brought them into Adobe Illustrator to digitize and add color. Then, in Photoshop, I added depth, shadows, and refined everything to achieve the final polished look.
