No water - no beer.

Book design.

The book "We don't sell beer - we've run out of water" is an introduction to the collection of beer labels in Lithuania. The book is almost 600 pages thick, hardcover. The book also contains many photographs of cafés, breweries and parties from the period. The book is published by the publishing house "Dirva". I tried to convey the Soviet spirit in the design of the book. I chose the illustrations and the colours by combining the spirit of the Soviet era with the colours of beer.

Book presentation.

The book launch took place at the National Art Gallery in Vilnius. Posters, postcards and postcards-invitations were created to inform about the event. A special drink and labels were produced for the event. Visitors were given books in Soviet-era pint bags, along with a bottle of Gira and canned fish. The same design as in the book was kept, but simpler illustrations were chosen.
