For La Source, a wine import business founded by three friends with a passion for wines, I was tasked with developing a logo that captures their dynamic and fun energy. The result is a vibrant and playful visual identity that perfectly aligns with their close-knit relationships with small, organic wineries. The centerpiece of the La Source logo is a set of characters I created, affectionately named ›Duudles‹—a blend of ›doodles‹ and ›dudes‹. These figures embody the lively spirit of the three founders, adding a playful and approachable vibe to the brand. They’re not just characters; they’re a representation of the energy and enthusiasm the team brings to their work. They are designed for multiple uses.Complementing the ›Duudles‹ is a handwritten typography that gives the logo a personal and authentic feel, reflecting the deep, personal relationships La Source maintains with the winemakers they work with. This element of the design emphasizes the hands-on, heartfelt approach the team takes in sourcing wines from small, organic producers.Key visual and poster design I created for a cooperation project event by La source and Feinripp und GoldPoster Design for the event “the night before”The "OLÉ" event series by La Source captures the essence of fun, playful, and vibrant gatherings designed to be approachable and enjoyed by all. The designs use bold, cheerful colors and quirky, illustrative elements that reflect the theme of each event, like tomatoes, pumpkins, or festive wine bottles. The typography is dynamic and eye-catching, adding to the lighthearted and welcoming vibe. Overall, the visuals perfectly embody the celebratory and accessible spirit of the events.The visuals for the "LEKKER OBJECTS" vernissage seamlessly combine Alexander von Dombois’ design philosophy with La Source’s playful and vibrant character. The bold blue and orange tones, alongside minimalist illustrations of chairs and lamps, reflect Alexander’s modern take on traditional craftsmanship, emphasizing beauty, functionality, and a joyful aesthetic rooted in his South African heritage. At the same time, the dynamic typography and approachable composition align with La Source’s emphasis on creating engaging and celebratory experiences, resulting in a design that perfectly bridges the worlds of craftsmanship and conviviality.Instagram Carousel-PostWine-Menu of the Vernissage
