Solution

A grunge aesthetic was chosen as a way to ground this campaign, making it not only draw attention but also have a realistic appearance.

  • The phrase "It's not alcoholism till you graduate" is a common excuse amongst college kids to excuse their excessive drinking. This campaign takes this excuse and uses it against them, even having the common throw-up bucket plastered in all the different excuses people will use.

  • Images were taken directly from the University of Akron campus, during parties and events, to keep the campaign as authentic as possible

  • Every image was edited using a sickly yellow to create an almost drunk and uncomfortable

    feeling to further the point of this campaign.
