Overview

Description

Five city versions were required for the key stopovers in the race at Alicante, Cape Town, Auckland, Miami, and Galway. 6 Sheet, 48 and 96 sheet formats were created for use in the Airports, major traffic routes and selected special sites near the race village, in-port.

Execution

‘Mar Mostro’ is ‘Monster of the Sea’. A battle between the team and the elements, the hand-painted livery of monster & water comes alive when the boat's design connects with the real ocean at speed. In the vice like grip of a tentacled monster, the water is on Mar Mostro’s side in a battle of epic proportions.

Epic B-movie style imagery shows the Monster ‘Coming Soon’ to each key city. The images were created with a mix of traditional draftsmanship, 3D CGI and old-school retouching.
