Outside the Box: Hand-drawn Packaging From Around the World

by Gail Anderson Author and Debbie Millman Foreword

In an era dominated by sleek, computer-generated typography and Photoshopped perfection, hand-drawn packaging is experiencing a global resurgence. As a symbol of authenticity, homegrown, handmade, or crafted elements, hand-drawn packaging adorns a diverse range of products, from supermarket eggs to Chipotle drink cups. This comprehensive and lavishly illustrated survey, organized into four categories—DIY, art, craft, and artisanal—offers a behind-the-scenes glimpse into the working processes and inspirations of forty talented letterers, illustrators, and designers from across the globe. Through insightful interviews, process sketches, and her genuine passion for the medium, author Gail Anderson illuminates the creative journey behind these captivating designs.
