Once upon a time I've got really interesting order from one of the biggest Russian coffeeshop networks: Coffee House. They've asked me to design a series of take away coffee paper cups.
![]() | Yesterday I've posted the first cup design. |
And here is the second one.
References
Wanted create sense of my favorite Russian city - Saint Peterburg. Used these images as the main references. I loved gamma here so I've taken all the colors from it as you can see.

Process of creation
Saint Petersburg, morning, students, cafe... Here is the sketch for this cup. I've found these steps in my temp folder which I showed to my client at the different stages of work.
Here was my final and they've asked me to make it more colorful again. I understand that is advertising illustration and it has to be bright so I've tried not to spoil that making it little bit brighter and less saturated.
Unfortunately I have not seen this cup printed in real life but I know for sure it was printed. Just nobody sent me any photos this time. If you'll find some shots in Google I'll appreciate that.
