in april 2020, during the covid-19 lockdown, CanO Water organised an exciting art competition, in which anyone was able to participate by creating a fun design for their cans. the chosen theme was positivity. i was very intrigued due to the fact that anyone had access to canowater's original can template. it seemed like a nice opportunity to practice product design.

during april, i was experimenting lots with ink, therefore i attempted to paint a crocodile's head and record the whole process of doing it.

i always admire how wide crocodile smiles are, so i knew that my design had to include one.  

after finishing painting the blue crocodile, i scanned it into my computer and continued working on it digitally.

​

knowing that the brand, CanO Water, stands for clean water, i wanted to do something in relation to that. therefore, my biggest inspiration was surfers - people, who risk their life but equally have fun while enjoying nature. 

CanO Water ended up posting all of the artworks on their website, including mine. my blue surfer crocodile can be found by visiting https://www.canowater.com/art.
