Raleigh Rogues

NBA Team

Design Objective:

Create a logo, style guide, ideation, wayfinding, environmental graphics, proposal booklet, jersey mockup, and court mockup for a made up NBA team.

Design Brief:

The Raleigh Rogues are a fictional basketball team from Raleigh, NC. The logo is a Racoon that looks mischievous and aggressive. The sharp angles and multiple borders display more angry design details that are normal in sports branding. The colors are bright but nostalgic, giving the team a vintage feel that is popular right now. The wayfinding and environmental graphics are meant to display how the stadium and how the branding may translate to other parts of the team. The jersey and court mockups are the most eye-catching and arguably the most important for the team’s image. Everything that was made for this project has a cohesive design language that seamlessly translates from one project to the next.

Tranquil Magazine

Design

Design Objective:

Create a cover, spread, mockups, and an interactive publication for an original magazine spread.

Design Brief:

The magazine is a strict display of Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator skills. The idea of this project was to create a piece that is meant to highlight my originality as well as showcase my organizational skills when it comes to the use of Adobe Indesign. The front cover is an altered photo of a person that I then added original illustrations to. The inner spreads maintain the same look from the cover in their own way and display content in a cohesive and attractive way through use of balance and hierarchy. The color scheme features muted colors that are consistent in the photography, type, and graphics.

The logo depicts a music note that replaces the first stem of the letter “M”.

V6 Flicks

Drive-In Movie Theater

Design Objective:

Create branding, an event poster, mockups, and promo video for a drive-in movie theater.

Design Brief:

V6 Flicks is a drive-in movie theater located in Charlotte, NC. The logo’s colors are complementary blue and red colors and are bordered with black and white strokes. The underline of the word “Flicks” is stylized to look like it was flicked across the logo. The V6 also has line work that is in the same style. The branding is centered around cars and car culture. This makes sense for a drive in since people watch the movie in their car. The event poster is made in a futuristic style that is common in many sci fi movies. The colors have changed to make it more dystopian looking and the neon accents help with hierarchy. The promo video is used to promote the brand on social media.

His body shape is meant to resemble both a melting ice cream and a walrus. The vending machine design is meant to attract attention from any angle.

NC Nascar T-Shirt

SkillsUSA Shirt Design

Design Objective:

To create a T-shirt design for SkillsUSA that represents North Carolina and is uniquely designed to showcase design knowledge and technical skill.

Design Brief:

This design for SkillsUSA was inspired by vintage Nascar shirts that are popular right now. The car was modeled after an old car that was raced by Richard Petty who was born and raised in North Carolina. The car is number “65” which represents when SkillsUSA was founded. The stickers next to the number represent the SkillsUSA framework. I added the racing flags because they are iconic and make for good leading lines to and from the type and car. The type on top is simple and displayed on a ribbon. The colors I chose are meant to evoke a grunge feeling that reminds people of Nascar. The distressing was done in Photoshop to make it seem more vintage.
