Saint Pierre le vignoble

Saint-Pierre Le Vignoble, located on Quebec’s Île d’Orléans, produces a wide range of handcrafted local wines. For this project in my typography course, I chose to highlight two of their creations: Soleil Couchant and Rêverie. My approach was twofold: combining illustration with an informative layout, while carefully respecting the hierarchy of the elements. For the illustrative part, I drew inspiration from the church in the village of Saint-Pierre-de-l'Île-d'Orléans. I focused on the apex of the church, stylizing it and integrating a gradient of colors to evoke the atmosphere suggested by the name of the wine. In terms of typography, I aimed to blend elegance with modernity by using a serif typeface for the dynamic, changeable text elements, and a clean sans-serif for the fixed, supporting ones. About two years later, I revisited the project with a fresh perspective, seeking to align it more closely with my evolving vision of graphic design. I removed certain elements—such as the church bell tower visible in the original composition—and refined the layout to create a cleaner, more harmonious whole. I replaced the original typography with a more modern yet still serif typeface, and meticulously readjusted spacing, colors, and font sizes to enhance the overall balance and elegance of the piece.
