A childhood memory of mine is going to the Pressed Juicery in Noe Valley with my Dad and stocking our fridge with the red, green, and orange ones. I also remember trying my first charcoal drink with them which coincided perfectly with my soft-grunge tumblr era. Almost 10 years later, I got to design for their Pride Campaign. The competition was originally supposed to have one winner and one runner-up’s designs featured on the Pressed Juice bottles. However only 4 of us entered, so we all won and were awarded a cash prize. Though I was featured on their Instagram rather than their amazing health drinks it’s still a huge win for me. Believe it or not, I designed it on Canva from scratch and if you have any experience working with Canva you can imagine that it took forever. This was before I had access to Adobe Creative Cloud but it was still a fun and rewarding experience so if you’re reading this as a creative remember to work with what you have – creativity expands with challenges and as artists it’s our duty to make magic. Below I’ll share what I wrote when submitting to the prompt “What does Pride mean to you?”
