process

The process starts with open-ended research into poster styles, which leads to comic-book style F1 illustrations as the visual direction. Sketches explore different compositions and concepts before moving into Photoshop. Rather than illustrating the car from scratch, a photo is converted into a graphic using Photoshop effects through trial and error. Halftone patterns, expressive type, and visual effects are layered in, with significant iteration spent balancing visual weight across the composition.
