Columbia Gorge Winegrowers Assoc.
I worked with CGWA providing branding, Identity design, print design, web design and development, Publication Design, event design, direct mail, publication design, environmental/outdoor design, print advertising, Illustration, Photography, , and pre-press expertise.
One of the worlds most unique wine growing regions, with the ability to grow almost any grape, I worked with this organization over 8 years to define its market in the US and the world for it's members. Working with a winery and growers association to develop a brand and reach out to their target markets promoting the Columbia Gorge wine region. Starting with research and rebranding, then extending that new branding out to print advertising, billboards, wine show booth signage and collateral, Web design and development, AVA wide winery event promotion and print collateral, yearly AVA Maps, media kits, and more.
Identity for CGWA
Columbia Gorge Winegrowers Association Rebranding – Representing a unique 2 state wine AVA that features multitude of microclimates ranging from rain forest with 45 inches of rain a year to high desert with as little as 10 inches a year in the span of 40 miles, allowing a myriad of grape varietals that cannot be grown (in close proximity) anywhere else. After a in depth branding research and discussions in committees, their long held tagline "A World of Wine in Forty Miles" became the focus of our identity work that the organization was able to champion.
