How Coronavirus Made Us Change Illustration

Hey guys!

The illustration you can see above has an interesting and somewhat hilarious story behind it 🤡

A while back, here at Zajno we designed a website for CardWiz, a useful service that helps to find the perfect cashback or travel rewards credit card in seconds. The service is quite cool, the guys do all the research so that you can choose the credit card with the most perks.

My role in this story was creating illustrations which I did and they came out pretty nice. The first illustration, which used to be the hero image, represented happy people drinking wine on the plane. That's where the interesting part begins! A few months after the website went live, COVID-19 decided that it was time to party and air travel was dealt a massive blow. As a result, the concept for the main visual of the website became obsolete! 😱

That's why I made a new one, the one you can see above. This one is not about travelling per se and so it doesn't upset people by reminding us all that we can't really fly now. The website has been already updated, you can check it out here.

Let me know what you think about the new illustration and the situation in general!

P.S. Zajno made only the website design, the development was done by a different studio.

P.P.S. Igor Pavlinski, thank you mate for your brilliant animation!
