The assignment was to create a series of bottle labels - both clearly distinct and related to each other.
Who are you, when you get drunk ?
When we drink alcohol, we tend to change our personality a bit and fall into specific roles - or drunk archetypes.
Like e.g. becoming overly emotional about everything or suddenly wanting to start a fight with everyone.
So I thought, what if you put these drunk archetypes on bottle ?
After listing drunk archetypes, I picked out six which I then named by using wordplays on typical Danish expressions or sayings about people.
E.g. "Klods Hans" [Blockhead Hans] becomes "Slås Hans" [Fighting Hans] to fit with the aggressive drunk archetype.
