Description
We decided to pay tribute to some of the most emblematic helmets in history, creating colorful characters and situations that conveyed the importance of the helmet in a lighthearted and fun way respecting the brand’s identity.
Execution
We developed four different characters facing four different enemies while riding their bikes. The tactile quality of the illustration borrows textures from the real world as a hint to the real dangers for cyclists.
To make the helmets the central piece of the illustration, we played with the head proportions, as if the characters’ heads were giant, fragile targets protected by their colorful and functional helmets.
We gave the whole thing a washed-out look to not just tone down the colors a bit, but to help convey the “historical” feel of the situations.
We then turned these illustrations into posters and magazine ads.
Outcome
By respecting the brand’s identity and delivering something brand fans and bike enthusiasts got excited about, we managed to raise the brand awareness by 21% within that group.
