In this conversation with
designer and cocktail author Nick Barclay, some of the topics we
discuss include:
How
Nick made his way to Australia by way of the UK, and how the Land
Down Under’s flourishing cocktail culture inspired him to start
designing for the liquid medium.
What
Nick means when he aims for “simplicity” of design, either in a
print, in his book,Measurements: A Proportional Cocktail
Guide, or in an actual
cocktail.
Some
of the challenges behind creating 2-dimensional visual
representations of 3-dimensional objects like cocktail glasses and
garnishes.
How
color became an important consideration when representing the
proportional relationships between different ingredients in
drinks.
A few
thoughts on the wine culture in Australia as compared to consumer
tastes in Canada and the US.
The
trials and tribulations of a cocktail lover who doesn’t enjoy the
taste of whiskey
And
much, much more.
