Esteban Plazibat / Ostdeutsche Allgemeine / Fischbrötchen, FKK und Friesentee. Krieg der Meere: Das große Glossar „Ostsee versus Nordsee“

Ostdeutsche Allgemeine commissioned Esteban Plazibat to create a custom editorial illustration for a feature comparing the Baltic Sea and the North Sea as popular vacation destinations in Germany.

The illustration visually captures the unique character of each coastal region, highlighting the differences in beaches, landscapes, local cuisine, outdoor activities, wildlife, culture, and travel experiences. Designed to complement the article’s engaging and lighthearted tone, the artwork helps readers explore the distinct appeal of both destinations while enhancing the publication’s visual storytelling.

This editorial illustration demonstrates how custom illustration can simplify comparisons, enrich travel journalism, and create compelling visuals that engage readers across both print and digital media.
