St. George Terroir
Artisanal Gin Label
Terroir Gin’s unusual botanicals include Douglas
fir, whose pinecone was employed for its visual
specificity which, befitting so distinctive a gin, is
at once compellingly bizarre yet recognizable.

Wolfgang Weingart Timeline
Hand-bound Booklet
This visual timeline channels Weingart’s
maniacal perversion of Swiss design in displaying
his life’s work, replacing his letterpress with
inkjet and X-Acto but retaining his obsessive
experimentation and exploration of materiality.
