more projects from last year – 2021 marked the uae's 50th golden jubliee. and it was only natural everyone wanted to commemorate the occasion. i was happy to have eithad airways invite me to join in their festivities and work on a series of illustrations that would be applied onto a set of arabic coffee cups, gifted to their vip guests. the illustrations are of iconic landmarks in abu dhabi and al ain, highlighting the capital's investment in architecutre, culture, heritage, tourism and entertainment, with one cup highlighting the airline.
i'm really happy with the end result of these cups. this was one of the more stressful client projects i worked on, as i was juggling the difficulties 2021 threw at me with trying to meet the deadline. but in the end, i think we came up with a really cool product. if anyone's been gifted these, i hope you enjoy them! thank you etihad for the opportunity...
