As part of an exclusive influencer event organised by ELLE Germany in collaboration with Wella Professionals, I had the opportunity to create a series of 34 individual portraits. In a stylish setting, invited influencers came together to experience the brand and exchange ideas. <\/p>\n

Clean lines for an aesthetic design<\/h2>\n

For this project, a series of black-and-white illustrations was created, capturing the guests in a minimalist, stylised form. The focus was on clean lines, expression and personality \u2013 each drawing tailored individually to the person portrayed, yet forming part of a cohesive whole. <\/p>\n

Illustration as a unique brand experience<\/h2>\n

The finished illustrations were presented during a festive dinner and proved to be a particular highlight of the evening. The moment when the guests received their own portraits was marked by surprise, joy and a personal connection to the illustration. <\/p>\n

This project demonstrates how illustration can be seamlessly integrated into an exclusive brand experience \u2013 as a personalised gift, an emotional moment and an artistic element within a curated event.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":3548,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"categories":[16],"class_list":["post-3573","project","type-project","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-commissions-en"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nELLE & Wella Professionals -
