Type: Data Visualisation, Illustration, Visual Narrative

Mentor: Rhonda Arntsen

Luminary is a makeshift beer company that uses data visualization of the brand origin story “The G34.3 Cloud produces trillions of pints of Beer”. Releasing five different types of ale around major lunar events of the year, each ale package visualizes the data of singular stages of the evolution of the star till its supernova along with integrated information of the statistics of the drink.

The ales include: Wheat Beer, Lager Beer, Brown Ale, Pilsner and Triple in order of increasing bitterness and alcohol percentage.
