Header illustration and three accompanying visuals that complement the narrative of 'Eat Better on Your Next Flight with This Prep-Ahead Meal Guide.”
For the Airbnb Magazine piece “Eat Better on Your Next Flight with This Prep-Ahead Meal Guide,” I approached the project with a clear objective: to bring warmth, charm, and narrative clarity to an otherwise practical topic. I created a bold header illustration and three supporting spot visuals that together elevate the story beyond standard travel tips.
My style draws from mid-century screen printing and vintage cookbooks — playful, pared-down, and textural. I chose a limited color palette and hand-drawn textures to give the imagery a tactile, human feel that resonates with readers. Each illustration was designed to not just mirror the article, but to enhance it — visual cues that suggest ease, nourishment, and the small joys of mindful preparation, even when flying.
The result is a set of illustrations that not only complement the content, but embody its spirit — encouraging readers to approach in-flight meals not as an inconvenience, but as an opportunity for creativity and self-care.
