Describe the brief from the client

Whatever you are looking for, Japan has it all – and we show how Cathay Pacific lets you discover it all by allowing you to visit a variety of destinations in a single trip on their comprehensive Japan network.



Describe the challenges and key objectives

To illustrate the diversity that Japan has to offer, we commissioned one of Hong Kong’s most gifted young visual artists, Benny Luk – recognised by Computer Arts Book as one of the world’s great illustrators – to create a series of digital artworks in a “tattoo/make-up” crossover that could then be layered over photography. Fusing contemporary and traditional Asian influences, he illustrated our five different themes that show no matter what you’re looking for, you’ll find it in Japan.
