E-Commerce Ecosystem Report Ethiopia

This project, a collaboration between Venture Meda and iceaddis, required the creation of 12 cohesive 3D renders for an upcoming report on the Ethiopian e-commerce ecosystem. The renders were designed to serve as the cover art and chapter openers, visually representing key concepts and data points across the report’s 11 chapters. The goal was to create a visually stunning and professional report that effectively communicates complex e-commerce insights to industry professionals.

The report’s chapters covered a wide range of topics, from market insights and infrastructure to challenges and future outlooks. Each chapter required a unique yet cohesive 3D render to visually anchor its content.
