Here’s a little commercial project that I enjoyed putting together for Yarty. I previously provided them with thank you/delivery cards for their online orders… and these double sided recipe cards will also be sent out to their home customers.
The illustrations were intended to sit alongside the text for a Black Garlic inspired stir-fry dish (their ‘B’ black garlic vinegar is incedible) and a couple of delicious raspberry cocktails (the raspberry and elderflower cordial is rather tasty too!). I enjoyed playing around with my sketched/hand-drawn lines and adding some stylised flat colours. Both were done directly onto the iPad Pro with the Apple Pencil.
I was able to layout the design, with copy and illustrations before arranging a print service to deliver directly to the client. They picked out a lovely soft touch finish to the premium thickness paper. With the rounded edges the overall feel of the recipe cards was velvety smooth!
It would be wonderful to do more illustrated cocktail recipes… as it’s been a while since my time working in cocktail bars; but I still enjoy making them at home. Thank you to Jayne and David at Yarty for coming back to me for another round! If you’d like to discuss ideas I continue to be available for commercial work ; so you can get in touch and start a conversation about a project here.
