Joël Penkman is a fine artist and graphic designer that we’ve featured here before on Food Art Friday. Seen in some of her latest work, the signature style remains — food item on stark gray background, and good enough to encourage paint-eating.
Oh, how far we have come as beer people — especially here in the US. So it only makes sense that while brewers continue to increase the quality of their beer, that they would start paying more attention to the aesthetics of their brand.
Oh Beautiful Beer thinks so, and showcases the best graphic design from around the brewery world. From the best in beer advertising and apparel, to the best looking tap handles, Oh Beautiful Beer finds the finest eye candy to go with your brew.
With water made from the finest glaciers on Hoth, Star Wars by Evian will keep you hydrated under the hot suns of Tatooine. Actually, the series of high-end water bottles is a student project by Mandy Brencys – depicting minimalist versions of the cast, and designed to be wielded like a light saber.

As part of their global packaging reinvention, Burger King commissioned New York-based graphic designer and illustrator David Iglesias. Using Iglesias‘ signature style of bold illustration, and deliberately keeping the packaging text-free, BK looks to expand its universal appeal.
Although, it could also be looked at as an effort to divert attention away from the package’s contents — which, from our understanding, has unfortunately not changed.
Artist Eric Barclay takes ordinary food packaging, and breathes life into them with some hand painting. Whether a Coffee-Mate container, or Diet Coke can, Barclay creates three-dimensional versions of his unmistakable characters. He even finds a use for French’s Mustard — impressive.
