BA thesis for graphic design at the Lahti institute of Design.
Label concept for a brewery. Five variations with allusions to musical genres and song titles. The aim was to have uniform styled cans with individualized details and a short description (in finnish for local markets) to present the nature of the beverages, and take advantage of brand storytelling, crafting silly paragraphs to bring out the character of the brewery and their beverages.
Texts below the cans are sales copy printed on the can — on the black cloth between two safety pins.

Ollapa olutta, kadehti Kain Aabelin satoa. Eedenistä itään nousevien puutarhojen hävikistä veljensä vartijoille pantu kitkerät mielet makeuttava, ja mahon maan hedelmöittävä hapan herkku.
Tanka Lahest:
"Pellon laidalla
kauppa-auton seisake
kolikot tiskiin
naksahtava sihaus
lankesinko loveen?"
Senkka nenästä ja vekki huuleen. Tekevälle sattuu ja fiksut sopivat torat.
Sovun sinettinä ja korjatun ystävyyden ruukkuna voidaan nauttia sopivasti viilennetty mieto mallasjuoma.
Onnellisuuden tavoittelu hapanten päivien läpi on saavutettavissa vain tässä hetkessä.
Sopivasti viilennettynä.
Nauti vastuullisesti, ja jätä paikkasi siistimpään kuntoon seuraavalle inkarnaatiollesi.
Saitko ruohonleikkurin käyntiin?
Nostitko kolikot maasta?
Pyörikö tuulimylly?
Hienoa, huilahda hetki viileän juoman seurassa.

Submission to the Zineton 2020 challenge, where one had to come up with a 16 page zine in 50 hours on randomly given subject and an item to be mentioned. Lady Luck picked civil disobedience, and short trunks, which made an interesting premise to come up with something in 50 hours. Write, draw and lay-out.
