Luckyrice 2011 Festival Campaign branding and illustration 01

Does good design make food taste better?

Every May the lovely people at LUCKYRICE host a week of culinary excitement that keeps us salivating all year long. The 2011 Festival graphics were brought to life with the spirit of celebration in the bustling melting pot that is New York City.

The 32 page Festival Guide cover was printed with a magical metallic gold and has a surprise postcard in the front flap that’s great for gloating to friends. The interior was printed on a toothy off-white paper that contrasts beautifully with the stark white cover.
