A little about the studio. They’re actually a group of creative minds that don’t just design. They’re a group of humans aiming to do better good in this world with their talent. Most of their portfolio involves creating work for a better cause. The context of Store Wars tells about harsh processes our food goes through with delivery on reasons we should support only organic food.

On their official website, you can view the video or download it right away. You can also view the great making journey and join the fun by looking at the characters. My favourite is ChewBroccoli. Anyway, have a look at the website and video, HERE.
