Mixed Drink Recipe Cards

Three different recipe cards were created for different mixed drinks. On the front of each card you will find images of the corresponding drink, which were painted using jelly gouache paints on watercolor paper. The paintings were then scanned and placed into the formatted InDesign document. When you flip the card over, you will find a list of ingredients for the corresponding drink, as well as a little tab you can unhinge to open up the card. This tab features an herb pattern created in Photoshop. When you open up the card, you will find detailed instructions on how to make the corresponding drink, as well as little illustrations. These illustrations were hand drawn with pencil, scanned, colorized using Photoshop, and then placed into the formatted InDesign document. All of the type that you see on these cards was set in InDesign. Once the InDesign document was complete, the cards were printed on watercolor paper, the hard edges were ripped with a deckled edge, the tab for opening and closing was cut with an Exacto knife, and the cards were folded.
