Vintage

Handcrafted

Project Overview

This project is an editorial book introducing hidden speakeasy bars in Atlanta. Inspired by Prohibition-era aesthetics, the book combines illustration, storytelling, and typographic layout to create an immersive, narrative-driven experience. The goal was to visually translate secrecy, history, and atmosphere into a cohesive format.

Illustration Concept

Hand-drawn cocktail illustrations created with ink pen and watercolor, inspired by the idea of documenting secret speakeasy drinks discovered in hidden bars. The style reflects exploration, and storytelling through imperfect lines and warm textures.

Editorial Visual Direction

The book uses a mix of expressive script and serif typefaces to balance personality with readability, supporting the narrative tone of the content. Hand-drawn illustrations are integrated as visual accents rather than focal points, working alongside typography and layout to enhance mood, pacing, and cohesion throughout the book.
