Danum Wines: Packaging Design and 3D Visualization
Mica Paige Prado
Danum Wines
Brand Identity • Packaging Design • 3D Product Visualization
PROJECT OVERVIEW
“Danum” directly translates to "water" in Ilocano — a fun nod to turning water into wine, which, when paired with our tagline "stay hydrated!", always garners a laugh.
Made by a family of winemakers from Mt. Province and brought to you by queer artists in Baguio City, I wanted Danum Wines to be an amalgamation of great drinks, fun times, and genuine community.
ROLE AND SOFTWARE USED
I led the brand identity, packaging design, art direction, and 3D visualization for the collection, using Blender, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop, and Procreate throughout the design process.

DESIGNING A VISUAL WORLD
Every project begins with collecting references from different disciplines. For Danum, I explored Greek mythology, Art Nouveau, vintage labels, editorial photography, and premium packaging, blending these influences into a visual language that felt uniquely Danum.
WHAT'S IN THE BOTTLE
WHITE TAPUEY
Produced with Jeykot (white glutinous rice) from Mt. Province, Philippines, White Tapuey is a full-bodied rice wine with a moderately sweet finish that keeps you coming back for another glass.
Design and 3D modelling notes: I paired the label's deep blue with the wine's natural golden color, letting the wine itself become part of the overall look while complementing the gold details.
RED TAPUEY
Crafted from Kintoman (red rice), Red Tapuey is aged to perfection. This full-bodied, ruby-red rice wine offers robust, earthy, and slightly sour notes with hints of nuttiness.
Design and 3D modelling notes: The red label was chosen to match the wine itself, creating a bold look that immediately draws attention to one of Danum's most distinctive products.
BUGNAY
Produced with organic Bugnay (Bignay, wild berries) from the mountains of the Cordillera, Philippines, Bugnay Wine is smooth, balanced, and medium-bodied with soft tannins.
3D modelling notes: The darker palette and gold detailing give the collection a refined, premium character, while complementing the wine's deep color and elegant finish.
