Takeaways
Recreating a 90's print advertising aesthetic for this project was a blast. My mom worked in destination marketing on Hilton Head Island, where I'm from, throughout my childhood. I used to sit for hours, flipping through the racks of brochures that lined her office's lobby, staring in wonder as graphic designers drafted sun-drenched ads by hand. I was enamoured with their giant caddies of fancy markers and honestly think the experience is why I decided to study studio art.
I wrote all the copy for this project myself, and created a small component library afterward. I look forward to riffing on this design again when the right client comes along.

SuperJuiceBatchCalculator

A dynamic recipe calculator for an innovative craft cocktail ingredient that exponentially increases juice yield without compromising flavor. Being a relatively new technique, it's hard to find a reliable calculator for batch prep, so I made one.

Takeaways
I worked nights at a few local bars to facilitate going back to school, and enjoyed making a tool for coworkers to use. A new iteration with a back end, so users can save formula adjustments and recipes, is in the works.
