Whiprsnapr Brewing targets local Ottawa craft-beer drinkers (25–55) and positions itself as community-driven and approachable. The concept anchored the can series to Ottawa’s Rideau Canal, using its summer and winter identities to create a place-based seasonal product story.

The design had to communicate two contrasting seasonal tones while staying readable on a curved can. It also required a consistent layout for mandatory information (ingredients, bilingual copy, ABV, barcode, address) without killing the hero illustration.

Built two color and type systems: warm, energetic summer vs cool, calm winter, each with distinct headline fonts and shared body text rules. The layouts follow a canal-shaped flow line, with simplified figures (paddling / skating) and Ottawa landmarks as subtle anchors.

Delivered two final, production-style label layouts (Summer Lemon Ale / Winter Apple Ale) with complete bilingual regulatory blocks and consistent brand placement. Produced realistic mockups for seasonal launch communication, showing the system working in digital and lifestyle contexts.
