This piece is my take on the raw energy and endurance of the legendary East African Safari Rally. I wanted to capture the spirit of vintage rally racing with a bold, stylized approach, blending vector illustration with a real-world background to create a dynamic contrast.
The car, inspired by the classic Porsche 911 Safari, is designed with exaggerated off-road modifications—lifted suspension, rugged tires, and a reinforced bumper—to emphasize its capability on unforgiving terrain. I used strong outlines and flat shading to give it a graphic, almost poster-like quality. The dust cloud and background elements add movement, making it feel like the car is tearing through the frame.
For the typography, I chose a bold, vintage-style font with a bright yellow color to contrast against the earthy tones, reinforcing the retro motorsport aesthetic. My goal was to create something that feels both nostalgic and exciting, paying tribute to one of the toughest and most iconic rallies in history.
