Ronald Mcdonald Giant Balloon

"see a smile, share a smile."

I had the opportunity to contribute a design to yet another brand with a long balloon lineage: Ronald McDonald. In this 5th Generation McDonald's wanted a design that would celebrate their many charitable giving projects. Human-sized characters are especially challenging to translate into balloons as surface area vs. volume for lift are among many important considerations.
