The client approached me with a unique and meaningful concept for a souvenir T-shirt. They envisioned a large illustrated leopard as the central figure, with Sri Lanka’s iconic tourist destinations and attractions subtly illustrated within the leopard’s spots, blending wildlife and culture into one powerful graphic.

They provided a reference sketch and an image of a leopard to guide the design process.

Translating tourist landmarks into the shape and flow of leopard spots was a creative challenge that required intense focus and attention to detail. After two weeks of dedicated work and refinement, I completed the custom illustration.

In addition, I designed the full T-shirt layout incorporating the artwork, aligning with the client’s specifications for both style and placement. The result was a striking and memorable souvenir piece that beautifully represented Sri Lanka’s spirit and biodiversity.
