Peter Hall and Mark Zurolo conducted a two day workshop as a Visiting Artist at the Maine College of Art. Peter Hall also hosted a lecture discussing his previous works as a design writer. This workshop was open to the juniors and seniors in the graphic design department at MECA. Peter and Mark assigned students to pick up an old project that was never finished, and to complete it or bring it closer to a finished point. There were limitations assigned to each person's project randomly by a set of dice. Each side of dice had a specific abstract limitation that needed to be posed onto the project. It was all up to however the designer wanted to interpret it.
A year ago I started to create a cocktail book, but had never end came close to finishing it. I decided to use that project during this workshop. Since it has a parallel to my thesis: Galavant Distilling. Using the idea of the cocktail book, I decided to make a poster for my mock distillery showing where the ingredients come from globally, and a list of the house recipes that the craft distillery would offer. My limitations that the dice gave me were: Encrypt / Decrypt, and 3x Smaller. I decided to interpret those limitations by taking away some of the content that I planned on including, and encrypting locations of the ingredients on a map.
