:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/159/159362/attachment_159362518 "The assignment was to design a soda-themed 90s-style mascot.
I chose a dynamic pose that was popular during the rise of a new generation of animated videos at the time. This is a quick sketch version, which I plan to follow up with a colored rendition. That version will keep some bold outlines while featuring soft shaded details. The advantage of this style is its versatility—it can easily be adapted into a single-color outline version.
I went with a Walkman because I felt it made a stronger detail than a boombox, which might compete in size with the cup itself. The orange slice cleverly doubles as a lock of hair. The sunglasses and sneakers are essential '90s brand mascots- unavoidable elements of what art directors then considered “cool.”")

:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/158/158715/attachment_158715704 "In my initial concept, I pursued a dynamic and visually striking design approach. The primary objective was to forge a strong connection between the brand name, \"Ride,\" and its mascot—emphasizing energy, movement, and an inviting, sharp aesthetic.
Rather than focusing on a specific sport or activity, the design embodies the spirit of an active, adventurous individual. This universal representation ensures the brand appeals to a broad, all-ages audience, from casual fitness fans to dedicated gym-goers.
The result is a distinctive and memorable symbol with a subtle abstract quality. This unique motif serves as the visual thread of the brand, reinforcing its identity and making it instantly recognizable across all touchpoints. The overall look is contemporary, energetic, and crafted to stand out in the nutrition bar market.")

"Talented, professional, and creative. I felt like I could rely on Bo Mak Art even though this was our first project together. Another characteristic I look for is good but fast and he is. Will collaborate again in the future if he's available."
