Strategies:
-Give it that hectic college football feel with a unique type and exciting background
-Used a bunch of different models as well to change up the main pose and tone of the design
-Also utilized motion blur often to get that dynamic movement feel and tried to represent Minnesota often through gradients and color schemes within the background

This poster was a gift for one of my cousins for Christmas and represents the fantastic Giannis Antetokounmpo.
-Focus on more clean elements and dynamic movement

-Highlight the Buck’s color scheme using topographical lines
Strategies:

-Used textures to create border which helped give great base to design
-Demonstrate the layers that Giannis has had throughout his very unique career with elements building on top of one another
Lando Norris
Objectives:
-Passion piece to practice more restrained formatting compared to my other sports posters.
-Created dynamic flow within the piece using F1 Font and angular vectors.
-Used pictures of Silverstone to depict his home race and give some context to Lando as a person.
-Used images of him smiling and his crazy basketball helmet to represent his driving style and personality.
Strategies:
-Using various angles with vectors going in opposite directions to create that racing feel.
-Included Lando’s car going in the opposite direction to give a huge feeling of speed.
-Background and layering created depth and added a new dimension to the design.
-Lando breaks the formatting on top which creates more depth.
Rowdy Tellez
Objectives:
This poster is a representation of an old veteran who is known for his explosive temper and hitting ability, Ryan John "Rowdy" Tellez. This poster was an experiment for me as I focused a lot on trying new vectors, software tools, and backgrounds. The splatter stayed of course though because I love how it adds a unique texture to any poster. I wanted to create a lot of dynamic movement throughout the piece so I used different vectors and shapes to draw the viewer's eye around the page.
Strategies:
Using masks I created the splatter effect with the background of these images appearing through the background. This allowed more color through the piece and gave some depth to Rowdy's poses. I then made some vector shapes to give a sporty feel and create a clean background around the main composition. Coupled with outer glow neon lights and logos from the Brewers this design came together very well.
