THE SKETCHES:
The brief was simple but challenging: I had to include the city's most important attractions and characteristic elements in a single illustration: from the most iconic Statue of Liberty and Times Square to the street food trucks and yellow cabs typical of NY.

And here's the final result! :)
I love what Auzou did here with the packaging design!
