A cool looking packaging “packed” with illustrations by Andrew Wagner for Häagen-Dazs. In collaboration with a UK-based creative agency called LOVE, they were in charge of the brand design overhaul meanwhile Andrew was in charge of the illustrated pattern to represent each and different flavours. The folks at LOVE invited artists from around the World to collaborate on this project and Andrew was one of the many lucky ones to work on this project, he has to create a pattern that would represent Vanilla Pecan, and Banana & Cream.

Andrew Wagner is a multidisciplinary designer and artist based in San Diego, CA. He has worked with brands like Adobe, Häagen-Dazs and IBM, also serve as an adjunct teacher at the Woodbury University.

Häagen-Dazs has recently embarked on their biggest packaging overhaul in almost 20 years -LOVE, the UK based creative agency behind the new brand design overhaul, wanted to make the packaging an object of desire, and bring to life all Häagen-Dazs’ extraordinary recipe textures, colours and sensations. As part of the design process, LOVE invited 13 artists from across the world, each with a distinct style, to create a unique illustrated pattern for each Haagen-Dazs flavour. From 3D illustrators to flat graphic artists and textile designers, each was paired with the flavours that felt most connected to their work. I had the pleasure of being one of the 13 artists, and the wonderful flavours I was tasked to visually create were Vanilla Pecan, and Banana & Cream!

Stuart Lippincott has been posting some incredible 3D rendering on his Behance profile. They are part of his everyday challenge and as the name suggest, he has been creating one illustration every day. I particular love the style and I can see that it’s becoming more and more a trend. The surreal mood withe small people or just a small person facing a massive object, usually with strong light effects. It reminds me of the 80s, very abstract and sometimes stark, but with this futurist vibe. Anyway check out below some beautiful 3D rendering work.

Stuart is an animator, motion designer and sound designer from Bentonville, Arkansas, USA. As he mentions on his profile, “he is just trying to do things he loves and hope you enjoy his work” – I do enjoy your work Stuart, I love it so much that I will dust off my Cinema 4D and will try to improve my 3D rendering game.

Let’s have a look at a beautiful series of illustration by Jing Zhang about the maps of America. With the summer season hitting its full speed, this series is quite inspiring of your next road tip this year. Jing Zhang has been inspired since this is her second map projects for when she drove across America back in 2016. She will highlight some of the key architectural locations from each state mixed with beautiful colours and of course gradients!

Jing Zhang is an illustrator based in London, UK; as I quote: “who has love for cities, architecture, food, and technologies.” We’ve seen her work before on ABDZ, you should definitely follow her work on Behance.

I’ve spent four exhilarating months in 2016 visiting the biggest village on earth, the Global Village, travelling eastbound around the world with numerous interesting stops. City has its own colour palette, flavour, sound, and personality. The difference between our culture is what makes our cities so wonderful.
