Map of Japan for Advertising illustration.
-Levitating embroidery-
For an advertising illustration in women's magazine for a cosmetic brand targeting middle-aged women.
The client's request was embroidered Japanese map associated the word "young, vivid, urban, luxurious and sophisticated".
I chose a blueish pink thread as the main color for "young and vivid", levitating embroidery* as a technique for "luxurious and urban", and antique gems for "sophisticated".
*Levitating embroidery is a coined word I thought of, for an embroidery technique. The embroidered object looks levitating on translucent fabric with shadow.
