Spot Illustrations | Johnnie Walker Scotch Whisky

These spot illustrations are basically black-and-white ink drawings with a dash of color added. I like the simplicity and directness of these images. The simple, elegant form works very well for sophisticated brands.I once worked on an ad campaign for a New Jersey design firm headed up by Designer Karen Barrows.
