Environment

Although the city of Lagos exists, a fictional approach using eclectic colours and a simplistic stylised look is implemented to visualise a world appealing to young audience that compliments the story

A representation of everyday city life is crucial in introducing the culture and way of living in Nigeria. The aim is to evoke nostalgia in older audiences while educating our younger and international audience. The approach of appealing to the inner child using props to represent very popular local brands in the 90’s and early 2000’s is to be effective in merging our target audiences.

Although the city of Lagos exists, a fictional approach using eclectic colours and a simplistic stylised look is implemented to visualise a world appealing to a younger audience that compliments the story.
