Pepsi was losing the cola war... until Michael Jackson showed up. 🥤👑
Michael Jackson's Pepsi commercial changed advertising history. In 1984, Pepsi signed Michael Jackson for a record-breaking $5 million endorsement deal, making it one of the biggest celebrity partnerships ever.
The Michael Jackson Pepsi commercial featured Billie Jean and became one of the most watched advertisements of the 1980s. During the Pepsi vs Coca-Cola cola wars, Pepsi used Michael Jackson to attract a younger audience and strengthen the Pepsi Generation campaign.
This is the story of how Michael Jackson helped Pepsi challenge Coca-Cola and changed marketing forever.

PAPER MONOLITH — Where Paper Becomes Architecture
An exploration of experimental graphic design, sculptural form, and architectural minimalism.
PAPER MONOLITH transforms the delicate nature of paper into a monumental visual statement. Inspired by origami geometry and contemporary architecture, this concept combines intricate folded structures, sophisticated typography, and refined editorial composition.
Created for 1286 CRAFT, the project explores the contrast between softness and strength through ivory-toned sculptural forms, realistic CGI aesthetics, precise geometric detailing, and a minimalist Swiss-inspired design approach.
The accompanying cinematic motion design brings the composition to life through subtle unfolding movements, atmospheric lighting, and elegant visual storytelling.
