trozoabout select flavor
Select Flavor is a creative collaboration between Flavorpill and Budweiser Select, providing a platform for chosen artists from all parts of the globe to show their work. Following on from the first round of entries — which saw Brazilian art director Adhemas voted top designer by Flavorpill readers — we've slated a number of fresh talents to feature in the project's second round.
The brief is simple: render the Budweiser Select brand through an original artwork or design. The customized artwork is then presented across all 11 Flavorpill publications.
Accepted artworks are archived here, so keep checking back in to discover the next wave of emerging artists.
