In winter of 2026, TUI reached out to me to create a tasty, fun, and colorful illustration for their in-flight magazine of pizzas from around the globe that are must-trys when traveling to difference destinations they fly. They gave me the list of pizzas and the eapproximate page size and desired layout for the illustration, and we played around with a few different backgrounds and configurations to suit the layout. I adjusted the pizza placement to suit the color balance and space limitations for the end result. While we tried checked table-cloth and scattered shape backgrounds, we felt the simple colored shape worked best and allowed the pizza and scattered ingredients to shine! I hadn’t tasted or seen all of these pizzas, so I researched the unique creations on the internet to draw playful and stylized representations that would appear yummy and vibrant on the page. I loved that the Chicago-style pizza from one of my hometowns was featured on it too!
The initial client brief for the pizza travel editorial illustration, and my three sketches showing the pizza illustrations, three different styles of hand-drawn lettering, and different background options for the food editorial artwork.
The final hand-drawn food illustration of pizzas from around the world, ready to insert into the editorial article for TUI magazine. Yum!
