Hello. My name is Jesse R. Ewing and I am a freelance designer (for web and print), painter, and illustrator. If you’re interested in hiring me you can check out an overview of my skill set here, and see some of my past projects here. I enjoy spending time with my lovely wife and our pet chinchilla here in sunny northeastern Ohio. You can keep up with what I’m doing on my blog. Feel free to contact me any time.
“Jesse is a true ‘Renaissance man’ of the art and design world. Highly proficient in various media, he delivers consistent high quality work with beautiful finishing. No matter what the project, Jesse will work with whatever concepts/ideas you have to offer or come up with interesting and unique ideas of his own. If you are looking for an artist with great taste, excellent conceptual (and typographic) skills and reliable turnaround, Jesse is your man.” —Jessica Guarino, Art Director, The Deal LLC
Troutman Vineyards is undergoing a facelift for 2010, including new wine label designs and a completely redesigned website that saw its last visual update around 2001. The new site takes some design cues from the website of Troutman’s sister winery, The Winery at Wolf Creek (in an effort to bring some cohesion to the two identities), as well as an outstanding collection of vintage family photographs that speak to the agricultural and viticultural background of the business. We felt that the new look should reflect the sense of pride and history that’s evident to anyone who visits the tasting room of this boutique winery set in the beautiful rolling hills and farmland of Wayne County, Ohio.
I have recently designed for Movieline, Deadline Hollywood, Troutman Vineyards, PBS POV, The Office of Orrville Economic Development, The Winery at Wolf Creek, Booktour, The Wayne Economic Development Council, Menupages, and Related Midwest.
Welcome to the new site! This will be the place to keep track of what I’m up to, what interests me, and how to reach me. Take a look around, and if you have any questions, please feel free to get in touch.
My labels for The Winery at Wolf Creek’s 2008 Nouveau are a featured entry in Print magazine’s October Creativity + Commerce issue.
Now available from Quirk Books, Wine Secrets: Advice from Winemakers, Sommeliers & Connoisseurs, featuring illustrations I completed earlier in the year. Quoting a customer review, “The book is a portable hardcover gem that provides the perfect level of detail for any newcomer or lazy novice (like myself). If you feel at all intimidated by some of the more expansive standards like Zraly and Parker, this book is your launching point.”
