Mission Brewing — Comic Con Magazine Spread

Comic-Con is one of the loudest visual environments in consumer marketing: everything on the floor is competing at maximum volume, most of it licensed and instantly recognizable. Mission Brewing needed packaging and activation work that could be read across a crowded hall, still look like craft beer rather than merchandise, and be produced inside a small brewery's budget and print run.
