Free PaperSpecs Webinar
Designing Spirit Labels & Cohesive Brands
Tuesday, June 9, 2015
2:00 p.m. Eastern (11:00 a.m. Pacific)

In PaperSpecs’s upcoming free webinar sponsored by Neenah Paper, Sallie Reynolds Allen, owner of Studio 32 North, will share her tips for designing labels and creating a cohesive identity based on her work with a company considered to be at the forefront of craft spirits.

Palo Alto, California – May 15, 2015 – “The 35 Maple Street Spirits portfolio offers a range of craft spirits that are taking the cocktail community by storm,” wrote Matthew Lorton for The Tasting Panel Magazine last fall.

So how do you design for a brand that garners this kind of praise, whose creators hail from a family that’s been influencing wine making for more than 100 years and prides itself in over-delivering on expectations?

Sallie Reynolds Allen, owner and creative director of Studio 32 North, will tell attendees at PaperSpecs’s next free webinar, Designing Spirit Labels & Cohesive Brands.

“When I saw the diverse and intricate label designs, the beautiful bottle shapes, the attention to every detail, I knew Sallie was a creative with a lot to share,” says Sabine Lenz, founder of PaperSpecs.com. “Her branding experience and design skill are inspiring on many levels.”

Guest Speaker
As an award-winning designer, Allen believes that projects should be managed as meticulously as they are designed.

“Good brands successfully combine conceptual design with brand objectives,” she says. “The design work needs to stand out, but the brand should also come with a strong foundation that can be easily built upon as needs and media change.”

Webinar Highlights
During the webinar, Allen will share advice on creating labels for a cohesive brand, provide tips for building trust with clients, and reveal a sneak peek at two about-to-be-launched products. Highlights of her presentation include:

  • Branding Back Story: 35 Maple Street Spirits
  • Concept Development: every product has a unique story
  • Family Ties: connecting many products to one main brand
  • Design Details: product naming, selecting materials (glass, paper, cork)
  • Keep It Together: tips on managing multiple project elements

Bonus Gift
Twenty-five lucky webinar attendees will receive Neenah Paper’s ESTATE LABEL promotion. The ingenious piece not only converts into a “wine box,” but also contains ESTATE LABEL paper swatches and offers design suggestions for pairing them with wine.
