The moments I needed nothing from them is a series of paintings built through the meeting of opposites: strict geometry and organic abstraction, control and release, structure and drift.

The guide combines essential information (emergency contacts, transport tips, house rules) with carefully written cultural highlights, curated recommendations, and local insights. It was designed to be both functional and collectible, suitable for guests to browse, reference, and even take home.
The tone of voice balances clarity with warmth, speaking to travellers of various backgrounds. Structurally, the guide is modular and scalable, making it easy to update with seasonal editions or monetise through featured listings. The design prioritises legibility and flow, using considered typography and a soft colour palette to support both aesthetics and readability.
Deliverables included copywriting, layout, print consultation, and production planning - evolving the project into a potential local platform connecting businesses and travellers through beautifully made editorial content.
The illustrations of the estate (already an iconic element of their brand) were retained and refined to appear prominently on the boxes, emphasizing the winery's deep-rooted legacy. The logotypes alternate between Greek and Latin alphabet versions, to represent both local authenticity and international reach.
Typography hierarchy and minimal colour touches (such as the rich red for "Estate") were selected to stand out against the natural kraft paper, achieving a premium look with sustainable materials. The boxes were designed to be functional, but also visually cohesive with the winery’s wider branding from bottle labels to retail shelf presence.
I developed a light-touch identity system that preserves KIVOTOS’ hand-drawn logo while building a modern, consistent language around it. The colour palette is derived from the mark’s original tones to communicate positivity, warmth, compassion, and integrity. Rounded modules, sun and wave motifs, and a simple icon set create a friendly rhythm across layouts without sacrificing clarity.
The system was designed for a team with little design experience. I built a Canva template kit and a one-page how-to so staff can duplicate, edit, and export quickly. Accessibility was a core requirement: I defined WCAG-aligned contrast rules, safe text/background pairings, and service-based colour coding for instant recognition.
Key deliverables included brand guidelines, a trifold leaflet, stationery, and social templates. The outcome is faster production, clearer communication for families and partners, and a cohesive look across print and digital while keeping the heart of the original logo.
