In 2014 Janine collaborated with Minna Parikka to advertise her spring range of shoes.

The above images aren't the traditional form of illustration, and uses the body as a canvas to advertise Minna Parikka shoes. Rewell’s colourful shapes are surface designs that communicate how stylish this particular product is, and the a lifestyle (of sorts) that accompanies it.
