Oscar’s wine available in The Netherlands!
Design: 2008
Client: Catavino for Bodega Quevedo
Oscar’s is a Portuguese red wine launched in 2008 by a family run winery, Quevedo, based in the heart of the Douro Valley. It was initially marketed by Catavino.net to the North American market, as a wine perfectly suited for a barbecue among friends and family.
Last December, I received a picture of Dutch friends, holding a bottle of Oscar’s! Finally, it reached the Dutch market and is now for sale at your local Jumbo store.
I was hired to design the label using an illustrative approach. The front and back label needed to be informal, accessible, personal and friendly. I chose is a loose, handwritten font and freestyle drawn social media icons to keep with the whimsical and fun feeling. Some time late, Oscar created a white wine in addition and the red colour on the label got replaced by a fresh green.
Let’s drink to Oscar!

About MissPixel
Global entrepreneur
Based in Barcelona and working in the cloud, I love international flavoured collaborations. I’m fluent in English, Spanish, Dutch, German and French, like to travel and am curious about different cultures. Your project can be discussed in your office enjoying a cup of tea or we can set up a Skype call. There's always a way to communicate!
Skills
In 1998, I earned my bachelors in graphic design in Breda, The Netherlands. Just as the internet bubble formed, I moved to Spain and eagerly studied web design and interfaces on my own. Now, I combine design with teaching, as I love to share my knowledge with students and clients alike. A full work history can be found at MissPixel’s Linkedin profile.
Balance
The joy of work is in the balance: organising and taking care of customers in the user experience field, mathematical challenges in HTML coding and composing bright colourful palettes on screen and paper.
These three perspectives harmoniously come together into one goal: making people happy with useful and beautiful designs. Boy, do I love my job!
