Stella

2010-09-13T11:32:00.001+01:00

Marcus will be part of the judging panel for his year's Stella Artois Design Competition and there is under a week to go before the deadline:

http://www.stellaartois.com/WDM2010/designcompetition/

The graphic design brief is to design a chalice glass and packaging for use at the The Stella Artois World Draught Masters Championship which is an annual event where 36
bartenders come together from all over the world and compete to pour the perfect Stella Artois, thus proving themselves 'Créateurs de Beauté'. The winning glass will also be produced by Stella Artois and be sent round the great and the good in design, advertising, media and the drinks industry - an amazing prize!

There is also a fashion brief to design the uniforms for the event and an industrial brief for designing the font - here is some inspiration from illustrator Gerard Hoffnung.

It's been busy here
