THE RUNNER'S JOURNEY



THE RUNNER’S JOURNEY


Juma Fit commissioned me to transform their outdoor fitness space by creating a running-themed, graffiti-inspired mural. It’s a celebration of runners’ perseverance, with a path that winds through obstacle-laden letters leading to a triumphant finish.

Design Iterations


My first pass imagined the runner’s spirit as embodied by a horse, cheetah, and falcon, representing power, focus, and speed. I also tried incorporating their logo into the iconic finish-line. 

Feedback from the client directed me towards a letter-oriented direction. I used outlines, highlights, patterns, and drips to create a graffiti look.

I scaled up the final design with chalk and a tape-measure before taping it over. Colors were mixed to accurately match Juma’s brand.

Impact


The mural creates a fitness environment that energizes and inspires clients, both children and adults. It’s a landmark visible from the road as people drive by. Additionally, Juma Fit uses the mural as an eye-catching background in promotional social media content.
