We are featuring an American illustrator, Calvin Sprague. His style is a mashup of Bauhaus, pop psychedelics, and colorful constructivism pieces. Here is a small piece of the design process behind his creation:


What inspired you to do this pattern?

I made this work based on subjects I am deeply rooted in, vintage psychedelic themes. Similar to The Beatle’s Yellow Submarine, trippy retro visuals from the 60s and 70s are some of my favorite aesthetics. Since this is a coffee drink, I felt the idea of having a constant, flowing illustration would portray the drink’s energetic characteristic as a unique alternative to coffee.

Walk us through the process from ideation to final illustration

I find it helpful to start with rough pencil sketches before moving on to the computer. I like to run through many ideas before I work through them further. After the general idea is locked down, it’s simplified, refined, and balanced through color until the illustration is just right.

 

What was your favorite part about the process?

I love working with food and beverage. I can visualize a taste or an experience that makes the whole process feel extra special. How can you entice someone to try a product without ever tasting it? What makes it stand out from the rest of the products? These are the questions I ask myself while designing food and beverage packaging.
