How is Tequila Made poster
This poster explores the process of how tequila is made, from harvesting blue agave to fermentation and distillation, highlighting the craftsmanship behind the spirit. To connect production with the global market, a pie chart presents the top ten tequila brands in 2022, offering a visual comparison of brand presence and consumer demand. Together, the making process and market data provide a balanced view of tequila as both a cultural tradition and a contemporary industry.
Street Food! Thailand
Guay Tiew Ruea translates to "Noodles Boat". Guay Tiew Ruea was the first street food that came to mind to honor my late Thai grandmother, who always cooked this noodle soup whenever my family had gatherings, visits, or parties.
This poster includes instructions for preparation and ingredients, followed by a story about how the Guay Tew Ruea was created. The map of Thailand was merged with the tortoise color and stood behind the descriptions for Preparation and Ingredients. The color palette was based on the river and ocean colors. Adding the Thailand flag helps people remember which country it represents. The river and the Thailand flag influenced the typography's colors: green, red, and blue. I illustrated the boat.
Historical Event: Sinking MV Sewol AKA “Sewol Ferry Tragedy”
On April 16, 2014, the MV Sewol ferry was traveling from Incheon to Jeju Island with 467 people on board when it capsized off the coast of South Korea. Among the passengers were 325 Danwon High School students on a school trip; 250 of them lost their lives. In total, 304 passengers died, while only 172 people survived, including 75 students. The disaster was caused by a sudden, sharp turn and excessive speed, which caused improperly secured cargo to shift and destabilize the vessel.
Rescue operations arrived at the scene, but the captain and crew were rescued before many of the trapped passengers, who were instructed to remain inside the ship. The ferry sank with passengers still on board, leading to nationwide grief and anger. Yellow ribbons and objects became symbols of remembrance and hope for the victims. Three years later, on March 22, 2017, the Sewol ferry was raised from the Yellow Sea, as rescue teams continued searching for nine missing bodies, while families and the nation continued to hope for their return.
The occurrence happened on the fourth day of a week, the fourth month of a year, and the fourth year in the 2010s.
