Inspired by the shared circular forms of the Target and Mastercard logos, I built a campaign around a playful visual metaphor: the Mastercard logo transformed into a ninja throwing star aimed at the iconic Target bullseye. The moment of impact revealed the campaign’s core message—a 15% cashback reward for using Mastercard at Target. From concept development and logo animation to storyboard and final advertisement, the project explored how strong visual storytelling can communicate a marketing message with minimal dialogue and maximum recall.
The logo animation was designed first, and the entire advertisement was built around that single visual moment—proving that one strong idea can carry an entire campaign.
