“WRESTLING W/ FLAVOUR”
To answer a branding-based University brief I designed assets for a TV show where sumo wrestlers compete in a cooking competition.
The challenging part of this project was finding the perfect balance between culture, drama & comedy. Through my research into colour, type & overall style I centred all my design choices around portraying Japanese culture in a respectful way.
The assets I designed for this TV show included educational props, modern advertisements & a hypothetical show trailer.
This project not only taught me the importance of respectfully incorporating a culture into a brand, but it also allowed me to experiment with photography, direction and motion for the first time.
My favourite part of this project was the comedic element. This was seen in not only the shows concept, but also the playful photography process.
