Packaging Design Brief
We are a start-up craft distillery looking to set up in the Beautiful Tweed Valley in Northern NSW, Australia. We will begin with a pot distilled rum, as the Tweed is a traditional sugar cane growing region. The working title is 'Tyalgum Rum' as that is the town where the distillery will be based. 'Tyalgum' is also the name of a steamship that was wrecked at Point Danger in 1939. The Tweed Valley is dominated by Mt Warning, so named by Capt Cook in 1770, so a nautical theme is essential. We have uploaded a more detailed description to give some idea of the package design we are looking for.

Project Deadline Extended
Reason: The Designs being provided are fantastic, but also require more thought on my part. There are at least 2 distinct alternative approaches that I need to work through in my own mind before I can give meaningful feedback.
