Corona and Corona Light Miami
This illustration was created for McGowan Crain Advertising in St. Louis, Missouri. One of my styles of illustrating is to make the image look and feel like a retro vintage style poster, as if it were created in the 1930’s or 1940’s, but give it a slight contemporary feel. The art director at McGowan Crain contacted me to produce this piece to promote Corona Extra and Corona Light in the Miami, Florida market. This illustration was used on coasters and a few other marketing pieces. The idea behind this was to incorporate my retro vintage style with the art deco imagery and colors of the Florida area.
