Production Technology
Printed on Frozen Orion Diamond paper (90 grs/m2), in exacromy (6 colors), using digital technology on an HP Indigo 6600 machine and its application of terminations on a Digimon. Folia Oro Kurz 425. Mechanical relief. Mechanical Doming Gold. Medium-gloss varnish. Die.
Design Challenge
The challenge was to create a large format label, whose design would display great personality, which, in turn, could develop a unique concept and manage to contain a great technical challenge both in printing and in its terminations. Incorporating circus graphics, flowers and fruits in the tasting notes, all visually joining the world of butterflies. "Bright ruby red, it tempts the nose with aromas of red forest fruits, exhales delicate scents of cherries and raspberries, combined with the smells of earth and brambles."
Research
The artist has investigated the history of the circus and, specifically, of Cirque du Soleil, one of the world's best - known entertainment companies which filed for bankruptcy because of the impact of the pandemic. Its most emblematic acts were reviewed, as an inspiration to find the right graphic language. Butterflies, their shapes, the symmetry of their wings have also been studied, further influencing the design of this label. The balance of the circus and the symmetry of the butterflies. Impossible not to cite Gioconda Belli's book "The Butterfly Workshop" Editor: Barbara Fiore.
Inspiration
Butterfly Acrobat is an act of freedom and hope, a poetic response to the pandemic. It is a tribute to circus artists around the world, to jugglers, magicians, fire eaters, acrobats, trapeze artists, equilibrists, clowns, comedians, and musicians who have dedicated their lives to the art of entertainment. It is also part of a trilogy of packagings were the graphic stories are a metaphor showing women who are architects of extraordinary acts and where feminine nature is sensitive and powerful.
Project Duration
This project began in July 2020 in Santiago, Chile and culminated in June 2021
Operation Flow
This packaging is a gift of CCL Label Chile, a printing press specializing in wine labels for all Chilean vineyards, as a graphic sample of excellence in digital technological execution, in exacromy (6 colors) and the application of terminations.
