As the 2018 Harvest season begins, we’re celebrating with botanical illustrations displaying the plethora of shapes and textures that the leaves of different wine varietals provide.

Below are three leaf studies that display just how distinct each varietal is.

This post is somewhere between a thank you note, a love letter and a blog post from me, Darcey Lacy, Founder and Creative Director of Watermark Design. I have been blessed with the opportunity to start a passion project and to grow it into an award-winning design studio & business over the last 10 years. I was just going to say thank you, thank you SO much, but I thought it would be more valuable to you to share a few things I have learned along the way as well.

We are excited to share our Hop Pun Series, which was created as a passion project, now a winner featured in the 2016 HOW Magazine Promotion & Marketing Design Awards.

This campaign demonstrates Watermark Design’s passion for the craft brewing industry while showcasing illustrative skill that can be harnessed in packaging potential clients’ future products.

We first developed a series of illustrations for several types of hops used in craft beer.

As we reach the halfway point in the year, we’ve noticed several trends in upcoming breweries and packaging that have been launched in the beer market. Ranging from clean and geometric to a humanist touch with individually drawn lines, all these packages are gaining award-winning traction in design and beer forums.
