    paper Illustrations for an article about McDonald’s coffee

    This project was created as part of a native advertising campaign for a leading online media outlet. I developed a series of editorial illustrations for an article about McDonald’s coffee, blending storytelling with branding:

    A visual narrative exploring coffee’s mythic origins and global presence today, tailored for an editorial article on McDonald’s coffee. The illustrations move from the legendary Ethiopian goat herder to the modern café setting, seamlessly connecting myth, heritage, and brand. The style balances warmth and curiosity.
