I really didn’t feel that there were any special challenges on this book. It was a project where the book was conceived in total in my mind and then I just created the final digital files based on that vision. The design solution was a very formal, straightforward presentation of things related to wine such as wine-tasting terminology, facts, symbolism, graphic ephemera, etc. This book obviously just touches briefly on these subjects and was meant to provide some basic information the attendees at the wine-tasting event.
