Project Description

This project presents ‘California Wildscapes,’ a unique cocktail menu zine inspired by the diverse and altered landscapes of California—from the over-farmed Central Valley to the oil-slicked LA River and perfectly managed aqueducts. Crafted by classmates from the ‘Lost River’ class, each cocktail recipe reflects the essence of these land-scapes, offering readers new perspectives on familiar scenes. The content, rich in environmental themes, is writtencollaboratively by the class members, while the captivating photography is provided by Steven Feng. This zine aims to entertain and educate its audience about California’s environmental challenges, promoting greater ecological awareness through acreative and engaging medium.
