This design problem required the creation of a foldout/poster for a collection of anything that I possessed, preferably personal, for a potential exhibit. I am not a collector of anything, I don’t like the clutter, and so I thought about what I could potentially collect to give an audience a better idea of me as a person. I landed on a chronologically arranged collection of liquids that I drink over the course of two weeks. It is a log of the natural and manmade fluids that I ingest on a regular basis and is as much a graphic design solution as it is a short-term anthropological study of a single man.

Before drinking any fluid, I collected a little of the drink into a vial, tagged it on the bottom, and logged the drink and date on my phone. I avoided repeating anything in the collection and at the end of two weeks I had a decently sized collection of colorful columns. I shot each individual vial inside of a light box and polished the image in Photoshop. The final setting of images and type was completed within InDesign.
