Hello Richard,
There are several elements to consider when designing a wine label and/or packaging. A few fundamental principles of design include typography, color, balance and hierarchy. Creating harmony within these design principles while ensuring the unified design properly represents the brand are most essential.
Thank you,
Jennifer
