Dead Ringer (Spirit Bottle Mockup)
For my Junior packaging class, I was tasked to design mockups based on our own fake spirit brand. I drew inspiration from my long obsession with turn-of-the-century magic and spiritualism, along with absinthe's background as an "urban legend" among alcohol for (many debunked) claims of psychedelics and otherworldly effects.
