Creative Process
Due to the war between the United States and Iran, the Strait of Hormuz has been blockaded, and the flow of crude oil has come to a halt. As a result, the supply of raw materials such as ink has become unstable in Japan, leading snack manufacturers like Calbee to switch the packaging of their main products to black‑and‑white printing.

Since this situation has already been reported overseas, I decided to create a satirical illustration to make more people aware of it. I tried to have Donald Trump—the one who caused this problem—hold a bag of potato chips, but one of my AI tools had other ideas and took “supersized” a bit too literally, making it the size of a cushion. Even in America, where everything tends to be supersized, I thought that was going too far, but it was funny, so I used it as is.
For the background, I asked for a colorful design inspired by a shopping mall, turning it into a patriotic space with American flags displayed here and there. And since it still felt like something was missing, I added a punchline by playing on the “MAGA” slogan: Monochrome Always Good Anywhere!
