They - Why did you create this work?
KG Motors develops sustainable, energy-efficient micro-mobility. Inspired by their mission, we created this illustration to show their vision and product appeal. The CEO, Mr. Kusunoki, is from my hometown, Kure, Hiroshima—a city with steep hills and narrow streets. Aging and environmental issues are global, and we aimed to support their solution through thoughtful design. - How were your illustrations used?
The illustration has been used on KG Motors' website, event displays, company walls, and promotional materials, effectively conveying the brand’s message. It is also utilized to showcase KG Motors’ innovation and design to a global audience. - What materials and techniques did you use?
I used digital illustration techniques with Adobe Creative Suite, mainly Photoshop, to create the artwork. I focused on fine details and vibrant colors to visually express KG Motors’ innovative spirit and the appeal of their product.
