Interview with Panos Tsakiris at Monday 23rd of April 2018 FS: What is the main principle, idea and inspiration behind your design? PT: Alcohol slows the pace of communication between neurotransmitters in the brain. The delay in communication between the brain and the eyes means that they are not able to function effectively which weakens the eye muscle coordination. This is what causes distorted or double vision. FS: What has been your main focus in designing this work? Especially what did you want to achieve? PT: The main inspiration for this project was the effect alcohol has on the brain and consequently the eyesight. The typeface and graphic elements were created based on this very idea.

PT: It is manufactured by the imaginary company Riley and Riley Limited. FS: What made you design this particular type of work? PT: The inspiration was the phrase 'twenty twenty vision'. FS: Where there any other designs and/or designers that helped the influence the design of your work? PT: Minimalistic and monochromatic designs that my persona liked.
