This project started as something personal.
A couple of years ago, I had to let go of my 1989 Mitsubishi Montero. I'd been missing it ever since, so I decided to turn that nostalgia into a creative experiment: take an original Montero sales catalogue from 1989 and reimagine it as if Mitsubishi launched it today.
The goal was not to simply clean up old scans.
The goal was to build a modern, cinematic landing page that blended:
- restored archival imagery
- AI-generated image extensions
- commercial-style video moments
- an exploded technical animation
- and a polished front-end experience
The initial image of the Montero was generated in Google Nano Banana. All subsequent images were generated using OpenAI's latest image generation model. For motion and commercial-style video generation, I used Google Veo via Google Flow.
The workflow
Eight steps from brochure to browser.
Step 01: Start with the original catalogue scans
I sourced original brochure pages online and treated them as the creative source material...
Step 02: Restore and modernize the brochure images...

I documented exactly how I turned a vintage 1989 Montero brochure into a modern cinematic landing page using AI, code, and design.
