The Future of Food

Why did you make this work:
Made for Ethic Magazine to illustrate “The Future of Food", a report about meat alternatives and the sustainability of the food industry. The text started with the writer describing the delicious flavour of what seems to be a perfect bacon and cheese burger that in reality is plant-based and made in a lab. The visual solution was to make an oddly squared flawless burger.

How was the illustration used:
As an opening DPS on Ethic Magazine, in the digital version of their publication and their social media (Twitter and Instagram).

How did you make this work:
Base illustration made with vectors (Adobe Illustrator). Textures made with china ink and modified photos. Texture applying, grain and light enhancing in Adobe Photoshop.
