Porsche Poster

Ink, paper, digital
20 x 30 inches - print size
 
The last project assigned in Publications class was to create a vintage looking poster for Porsche but using their new cars.  The head Porsche guy in the South US region wants to bring illustrative posters back (verses using photographs and all graphic design stuff).   So he's going to use our posters to pitch his idea to his superiors...ie: Porsche North America.

Cars in Dar

It's done!

A cityscape of Dar es Salaam with a few of the noticeable or well-known buildings such as the main Mosque in town, the Lutheran church, the ugly peach colored (what was wrong with white?) colonial buildings, high risers, and the winged Exim Tower. The cars with all the windshields covered in stickers are an extreme but it's not unusual! In Tanzania, car registration/insurance and a bunch of other things need to be plastered to the windshield. There are so many square and circle stickers on everyone's cars it's a little ridiculous. If you have all of them on, they can take up to 6 inches of space from top to bottom corner of one side of the window. I also used the old number plate system with the TZ followed by the plate number. It was a cool system, you could see which were the newer cars by the larger numbers. Eventually they added letters onto the TZ in alphabetical order. So if a TZB came out, you knew it was a newly purchased car. Now the number looks random like it does in the States.

WIP - Cars in Dar

A Work in Progress - WIP. Cityscape of Dar es Salaam with a few of the noticeable or well-known buildings such as the main Mosque in town, the Lutheran church, the peachy colored colonial buildings, high risers, and Exim Tower (the building with wings). The foreground which is nowhere near being finished is a mass of cars with all the windshields covered in stickers. In Tanzania, car registration/insurance and a bunch of other things need to be plastered to the windshield. There are so many square and circle stickers on everyone's cars it's a little ridiculous. If you have all of them on, they can take up to 6 inches of space from top to bottom corner of one side of the window.

My drawing is obviously an extreme. My dad keeps 2-3 on our cars and puts the rest in the glove compartment!

Anyway, this is one of the things I've been working on at home, hope to have it finished tomorrow. Need to get cracking on some sketching too.
