Ex Post Facto conjures up ideas of prohibition and the era surrounding that time. Using the vintage typewriter was a way to invoke a sense of time, By adding the emboss on foil, I was able to achieve a realistic looking label. Taking a minimalistic cue from the front label, the back-label mimics someone just simply typing on a sheet of paper.
Ex Post Facto 2016 Syrah packaging was produced with the intention of creating something “distinctly different with a retroactive effect or force.
The Request
