Eentje
• Personal project | 2023 •
*Eentje is the dutch word for just one, but the word eendje, which is pronounced the same, means little duck.
INTRO
A lot of my projects begin with a conversation or an observation. In this case,
it's obvious: the brand Eentje started at the bar. I was working when a regular walked in. I asked him if he would like a beer. His response was, 'Just one for
the taste.' To which I replied, 'Well, well, and one for the thirst.'
​
INSIGHT
Taking a second look at this idea, I realized there’s more to this simple joke
than designing a fun beer. We use these phrases to justify having another
drink, making that extra glass seem like an innocent thing.
​
Because we normalize these sayings in our culture, we also normalize every extra glass.
CONCEPT
To make people conscious about their alcohol consumption, Eentje uses
these common sayings to show what else that extra drink can lead to. ​
To reach people that use these sayings, the style is lighthearted, like any
regular craft beer from a trendy brewery.
