Beyond the graphic design crafted to evoke a 1940s aesthetic, this was a particular fun project for me because much of the tongue-in-cheek placeholder content made its way to the final piece, including the 2-step "no-duh" instructions for use and a great deal of tongue-in-cheek placeholder copy I wrote.

Bizarre? Without a doubt. But a little weirdness can bring a welcome spice to life.
