Vector illustration for paper drinking cups

 



















Vector illustration: Dimitris Klonos

Creative director: Nancy Illantzi


These coffee drinking paper cups were a nice excuse to get creative. I was asked to create an urban scenery with vector graphics that would depict young people on everyday fun activities. I begun by creating rough sketches to get the basic ideas of what I was going for. Once I had the basic characters hand drawn, I continued on vectorising them on the computer. I think the result came out really interesting.

My friend Kostas Annikas is a Greek woodturner and craftsman based on Kefalonia island. He creates beautiful works of art out of wood and also sells tools and accessories for woodturners.
