Design Details

Unique Properties
With the slogan The Biggest Wine Party in Portugal, the multimedia advertising campaign shows that Feira do Alvarinho is more than just an annual entertainment event with food, wine and music. It is an affirmation of the identity of a territory, rich in resources and with a unique geographical location, that makes itself known by its traditions, customs and places. Here, the production of Alvarinho wine plays an important economic and social role.
Inspiration
Feira do Alvarinho is an annual wine party that takes place in Moncao, in Portugal, more precisely in the middle of a leafy park nearby river Minho, close to the Galician border. To communicate the event, we created an ancient and fictional kingdom, unmentioned in the history books. We named it The Kingdom of Alvarinho because Moncao is known as the cradle of Alvarinho wine. With own name and civilization, it was inspired in the real history, places, iconic people and legends of Moncao.
Research
Without ever losing the focus on promotion and commercialization of Alvarinho wine, we created a new kingdom, The Kingdom of Alvarinho, and told its story in a storytelling way. We used different advertising tools on the multimedia campaign, such as illustrations for the main poster, brochure, magazine/journal ads and outdoor advertising, 3D animated promotional video, merchandising, new website, radio jingle and even the official mascot. All of them developed to reinforce the Alvarinho condition as a strategic instrument in the economic competitiveness of the region.
Challenge
The biggest challenge of this project was the handmade illustration, the character design process of creating The Kingdom of Alvarinho without neglecting or twisting the elements and details of the history, iconic and legendary people, mythological figures, places and rest of civilization. We carried the real story of the territory into character design.
