The brief was to design a series of billboards that celebrated the fusion of two iconic brands: Puma's sportswear and Super Mario's gaming universe. The key objectives were to generate excitement, drive in-store traffic, and capture the playful essence of the collaboration. The visuals had to be immediately recognizable, highly engaging, and optimized for large-scale outdoor displays, ensuring they were impactful to both pedestrians and passing motorists.

My design approach was to create a bold, graphic style that seamlessly blended Puma's athletic aesthetic with the whimsical world of Super Mario. I used a strong, saturated color palette inspired by the game's classic visuals. Key design decisions included:
High-Contrast Imagery: I placed the products against simple, clean backgrounds to make them stand out.
Dynamic Composition: I used elements like animated coins, jumping mushrooms, and vibrant stars to add a sense of movement and energy to the static billboards.
Strategic Typography: I selected a blocky, impactful font to ensure the campaign's message was easy to read from a distance.

The core concept for this campaign was "Level Up Your Style." This idea played on the gaming term "level up" to create a powerful metaphor for personal progress and empowerment, linking Puma's brand to the aspirational journey of a gamer. The visuals were designed to evoke a feeling of nostalgia and excitement, encouraging the audience to "collect" the Puma x Super Mario gear as a way to "level up" their own fashion and lifestyle.
