The objective of this project was to create cocktails and design serving instruction cards for each cocktail. Most cocktails would be named to follow a certain theme and the cards would be designed to fit a certain series while a few would stand-alone for a design theme.
Wine Label Series
These cocktails belong to a series that would be designed to fit a simple wine label theme. The card designs would feature hand drawn illustrations converted into two to three tones.
The Bird Project Series
These cocktails were named to fit three marks that I designed in a pre-design portfolio course. The project called for designing three marks of a specific bird species that ties into three concept words (wicked, poignant, and ecstatic). The card designs would feature the marks and other words that are synonyms or related to the concept word.
Bedroom Series
These cocktails are based on a simple mixed drink I would make my brother. The card designs would show high contrast five tone images of components in his bedroom.
Highball Series
These cocktails are all highballs (a cocktail that consists mostly of a spirit and soda}. The card designs would feature a vector illustration that would float along with bubbles as if they were in the cocktail.
Song Artist Series
These cocktails would fit into a theme based on popular songs ranging from different genres. The card designs would feature the song artists by taking portraits or screencaps from the music video and transforming them into illustration with a set amount of tones.
World Map Series
These cocktails were named to fit the location each drink was based on. The card designs would feature two color illustrations of geography or landmarks.
One-Off Series
These cocktails do not fall into a specific theme and can stand alone from a series.
Classic Cocktail Series
These cocktails are IBA (International Bar Association) official cocktails. The card designs were based off the molecular structures of compounds.
