BECK' S PRIZE

design a key and what it opens

---
title: open your mind
# : 945
trevor thomas from south africa



designer's own words:
'OPEN YOUR MIND'

The idea is simple and initiates the viewer to - stop and think. One then
reaches for a bottle of Beck's. Open Your Mind.

There is always a way to open a bottle of beck's and enjoy a swig of some
fine beer, be it at home when you've lost your favorite opener, outdoors
with a handy cigarette lighter or with anything you can find to open a fresh
bottle of Beck's - this project celebrates that process.
The following approach takes an everyday object and relates it to the
process of drinking a beer. The object is the key, the beer is what it
opens. Your mind is the medium.
The simplicity of the objects is contrasted by the 365 Beck's bottle layout.
The layout implies a thought process and takes on the shape of a bottle top.
This in turn leads the viewer to the product and the idea of opening it.

Having found myself opening a bottle of Beck's on many occasions with
implements of all sorts, I felt the celebration and process to be most
enjoyable, not to mention the great beer that follows.

This project has been great fun for me and hope that in creates some interest.
