World Illustration Awards 2024 longlist revealed
Five projects from our artists were longlisted at the World Illustration Awards this year for brands including WeTransfer, H&M and Fortnum & Mason.
H&M 'Eva Cremers x H&M'
Design Product & Packaging
Eva Cremers
Eva was invited to collaborate with Swedish retailer H&M on a global kids collection that embraces children’s self-expression and creativity, capturing the essence of the young in today’s digital age. It includes 3D graphics and characters blurring the lines into the metaverse and gaming, with a strong connection to youth pop culture.
WeTransfer 'Windows'
Animation
Black Childish
A role previously granted to Alva Skog, Black Childish took on the mantle of the WeTransfer Windows, designing and animating the pop up illustrations that appear when you use the file transfer service. Adding his playful visual language to the identity of WeTransfer, Black Childish was given creative freedom to experiment with his designs and imbued every movement with life and lighthearted fun.
Fortnum & Mason Advent Calendar
Design Product & Packaging
Hannah Warren
Hannah worked with Otherway Studio to craft a joyful and festive design for Fortnum & Mason's 'Festive Feasting' advent calendar.
Hannah created a central illustration depicting the iconic department store food hall bursting with Christmas sparkle and delicious treats, where every date window is intricately crafted. Carrying the design style to the outside of the box, Hannah also created the front and sleeve of the calendar in the image of the extravagant Fortnum & Mason windows.
Mum's Life™
Exploration
Ines Pagniez
Inès’ humorous campaign MUM'S LIFE™ explores the universal realities of becoming a parent. While on maternity leave with her second child, Ines was musing on the unexpected changes that come from giving birth and having a newborn; the not always glamorous or tender moments that you aren’t necessarily prepared for. It was also at this time that she wanted to keep her hands busy, so naturally the two combined in her signature style to make this humorous, personal series that she hopes will be relatable to parents everywhere and shed some light on the postpartum experience.
The New York Life Foundation 'Lost In The Middle'
Children's Publishing
Genie Espinosa
Genie worked with the New York Life Foundation to illustrate the fourth graphic novel in their ‘Lost in the Middle’ series. Lost in the Middle follows the character of Kai and was launched to help children and their families process grief.
Developed with insights from a leading expert in the field of bereavement, the book delivers a powerful message around collective healing, built chapter by chapter as characters navigate individual challenges but ultimately come together as a community to grow. The 200 page graphic novel is the first commissioned novel that Genie has worked on, with her first personal book receiving much acclaim, and her second soon to be released.
