Teapigs a well know Tea Brand asked to commission a set of 6 cityscape illustrations for they’re new book publication dedicated to tea. Each of the cityscape illustrations showed: Landmarks or key characteristics of the different regions/cities in the chapter. Each chapter looks at a number of different countries and their recognisable landmarks from a number of different countries in one cityscape.

The Tea-related images- references to the tea information are covered in the each relating chapter. The tea-related elements were also illustrated amongst the architecture/landscape for example: teacup peeking out behind the gherkin.  The 6 cityscape illustrations and elements were broken down as follows,
