This project subjected a group to create a paper sample in which highlighted a form of wordplay.
Approach
For this project we had decided to highlight double entendre as our form of wordplay, specifically that applying to alcoholic beverages. We related the words and phrases directly to the texture and application of the paper. On the back of the paper sample we revealed the double meaning of the word and/or phrase to also be that of a mixed drink.
Results
The result of this project was a designer’s guide to mixed drinks, titled “Drunk On Paper”. Aptly named, the paper displays phrases such as “Sex on the Beach” in relation to the textured, grainy paper where the type is imprinted much like sand, appealing to the designer. On the back, however, was a guide to creating said beverage as an after-hours utility to the paper sample.
