Project overview
The Smart Starts campaign, launched in 2018, showcased how IBM’s smart technologies empower businesses of all sizes to drive meaningful change in Africa. The campaign featured three stories, each brought to life through custom illustrations and a thoughtfully designed user interface. I created all illustrations, leveraging IBM’s colour palette to ensure a cohesive visual identity, while unique colour themes distinguished each article to add depth and individuality to the campaign.
