About
A building mural concept created for Caffeine & Machine celebrating their ‘Cult of Machine’ community. The brief called for a visual concept that fused anime and manga aesthetics with classic JDM car culture.
The big idea
Rather than viewing the building as a flat canvas, my design integrates the building’s physical features by using the building's windows, gutters and architectural breaks as comic-strip frames.
The layout tells a three part visual narrative, from morning arrival at the top, to the people and car culture community in the middle through to an evening cruise with JDM classics across the bottom. Additional elements include custom brand touches such as a Nexen tyre vending machine and a Daikoku-inspired Maneki-neko cat for good luck.
