My experience as a wine label designer began more than 20 years ago – in that time I have successfully created a considerable amount of premium brands – most of them later recognized as some of the icons of Bulgaria’s Wine and Spirits industry. In developing strong and professional visual solutions, I have helped my customers gain popularity, increase sales, and as a result, a return of their investment. I thrive on open communication and my work process is simple, flexible and I welcome your ideas. While fusing the classic method of creating art with digital technology, I set out to create unique, one-of-kind brands. Typography and calligraphy have a very special place on my wine label designs and they are one of the keystones of my professional success. This is my short story and philosophy – the rest is hard work, knowledge, skills and experience, innovation and a competitive spirit. Being a wine label designer is not just fun and passion – it is a great responsibility.” Jordan Jelev Owner / Creative Director the Labelmaker * Author of probably the best Bulgarian wine labels Jordan Jelev received “the Labelmaker” nickname which eventually turned into his own signature and personal brand.
