PROJECT 1.2025 // THE CONCEPT

Highlights of Enhō Yūya - our favourite Sumo wrestler. 

SKETCHES &  MOCK UPS

For this stage, we aimed to limit ourselves to a week to execute sketches and mock ups. This is because it's usually this stage we take the longest with and unnecessarily complicate things. We successfully executed our sketches and mock ups in a week and moved on to the production phase of PROJECT 1.2025.
