Illustration Lunch & Learn
Want to know who makes the games on the backs of the cereal you loved as a kid or the colorful art on your Go-GURT tube or the cast of Halloween characters on your Hershey’s chocolates? We do!
For nearly 30-years, Ultra Creative’s team of artists have brought characters like Lucky the Leprechaun, The Trix Rabbit, Buzz Bee, and The Pillsbury Dough Boy to life on packages throughout the grocery store.
Join our designers for a discussion on the many ways great illustration helps to create engaging packaging that turns everyday products into beloved, iconic brands.
