HIGHLIGHTS | Gastronomy wrapped in graphics

It might go without saying, but gastronomy goes hand in hand with graphic design. Many businesses are entering the market with more and more excellent visual identities, and many are willing to spend money and energy on the packaging. This week, we showcase projects where design goes beyond the culinary pleasures to help the food makers gain recognition.

It is an exciting challenge for any studio to design a complex identity when the client asks the designer not only to develop the graphic world but to design the packaging of a particular product. In such cases, visual thinking only serves as a guide because it loses its validity if the designed object is impractical and does not work. Not to mention the fact that in many cases, the envisaged packaging has to comply with serious regulations, and environmental sustainability is also something that cannot be avoided these days. Any graphic element related to gastronomy, be it a book, a building or a corporate identity, can be such an exciting challenge.

Let’s see this week’s favorites, now from the UK to Vietnam. Join us!

From the Volga to the Danube—to be Russian in Hungary

It is not surprising that countless Russian, Ukrainian, and Belarusian people have found their home in Budapest (and, of course) in Hungary in recent decades. What is perhaps more interesting is that although they did not form a unified, closed world like the Chinese in Chinatown (which I wrote about

Surreal humor in the photographs of Bára Prášilová

Surreal and bizarre images with a touch of humor that never over-explain, leaving room for thinking—Instead of using digital manipulation, Czech visual artist, Bára Prášilová uses real props and costumes of her own design to create her characteristic visual world. The strange situations are not just visually expressive; they
