I would say the biggest challenge for this project was the need to create a distinct and unique look and feel, while having little to no illustration assets to use. The Popcorn brand, done by Open Purpose, is amazing, but for whatever reason very little illustration material was delivered at the end of the project. That left me with very little to use, and very much to deliver.
Instead of turning to GenAi tools, I decided to embrace the challenge. Some illustrations (like the globe on the Research page) I directly made myself, trying to stick to the provided branding, while for other pages such as the manifesto, I tried to make a smart use of the few clouds we were delivered as pngs.
