Hello Old Bean

Hello old bean is an academic editorial project that I had worked on with Pit magazine and I had the amazing opportunity of meeting and working with their art director, Holly Catford.

For this project, I was tasked with choosing two articles and creating three different illustrations for them. One being the front cover for the magazine, the second being a full-page illustration and the third being a spot illustration. The articles I chose were “Hello Old Bean” written by Toni Olukiran and the other called “Spilling the beans: a story of idioms and their origins” by Gemma Boothroyd. Both articles talked about beans across the world and their history which was so intriguing to read and learn about. The articles are very comedic to me which is why I decided to create these types of illustrations in a playful manner as I wanted them to meet the same vibe.
