The Project
This was a fun personal project inspired by one of my friends who noticed that the Tesla logo resembles the visor piece of Mando's helmet from the Disney series, The Mandalorian. The result is a fictitious advertisement combining two of my favorite things:
Star Wars and Tesla.
1. Mando
I knew the foundation of this project would start with the creation of Mando's modified 'Tesla themed' helmet.The challenge was realizing that Mando would have to be looking up slightly for the perspective to look correct.

2. The Child
You can't have The Mandalorian without Baby Yoda. Being the adorable and mischievous child it is, Baby Yoda has been known to operate heavy machinery before. This is why you never leave your keys in the car...
3. The Car
The next important step was creating a car worthy of Mando's capabilities and one that would protect his most precious cargo.
4. Bringing it all together
The final step was creating the background and title. I chose to use the Bantha Skull (a symbol of unity for all of the Mandalorian clans) as well as their creed, 'This is the Way.' Both sum up the culture and attitude of the Mandalorians.
