SBG: SPORTS illustration

Another mini-project almost ticked off the list. Ryan Summers suggested pushing some kinetic text and illustration in a stronger way after doing a critique on my reel. I had fun putting this together and would will do more. The chance to experiment was great. The colour combos can really take things in different directions. I'm also aiming to do some for my rugby club when the chance arises.

STADE ROCHELAIS RUGBY: ronan o’ gara

Finished the ‘print’ version of my ROG portrait. Next will be a motion version. I connected with the man himself on another platform and got the thumbs up. That’ll do for me.

NORTHAMPTON SAINTS: COURTNEY LAWES illustration/ANIMATION

As part of my exploration of illustration/kinetic type/sports graphics. I've put two versions together in one clip here of Courtney Lawes, the second row of Northampton Saints, England and British and Irish Lions. I like to bring illustration into my projects where possible. One of the main reasons for me is that I think it stands out more. We're used to (bored, even) seeing the same generic stock photography and models dressed up as different roles across marketing output. Of the ways illustration can help, one is to make a brand stand apart from competitors who may rely on stock photography or generic design elements. There's an amount of personality and a different visual experience that comes from using illustration that is hard to convey with stock assets. I often chat about rep-purposing content to my clients. This illustration was intended for a motion piece, but I knew it could find use in printed material too. Like, a matchday programme... I’ll be adding to this series with stars old and new, men’s and women’s teams.

Any introductions to sport organisations/teams that would be interested in exploring this as part of their marketing etc.

LEAMINGTON ROYALS: SOCIAL MEDIA SPORTS GRAPHICS

The road to victory was full of potholes and then a dead end this season for @leamingtonroyals. It was a mad one with so many close games. I put together a few animations, stings, and player profiles for the club’s social medias. Some were fixture announcements and others just for a bit of craic. Here's a couple of stings and logo animations. There was some unreal talent added to the club this year. Plenty of facials going on too in the top notch photos taken by Tim Nunan. Robbed and cut up by yours truly. Absolute quality lads and ladies in both squads. Kick on to better for next year!

IRISH RUGBY TEAM 2019

Rugby is a big passion of mine. I’ll have to work on a new set of rugby heads soon.
