Memphis Tigers Name Tag

It has been a while since I've posted here on the blog. Currently times are a little crazy as I try and pack and get ready to move to New Hampshire for a new full-time position. However, I continue to do my freelance work in between bouts of taping up cardboard boxes and wrapping things in bubblewrap.

Above is a name tag I recently finished for the University of Memphis football team. It is a background piece for them to use when they are showing recruits around the campus. They will be putting a name label in the middle area towards the player's number. I really love this shot of #44 because of his intensity, as I believe it reflects the kind of enthusiasm the team wants from its players.

Anyway, if you don't see another post from me until after the 1st of the year, it is probably because I am in transit/unloading my family's things in our new place. If so, have a wonderful holiday season and Happy New Year!

A Memphis Tigers Infographic - Texas Players

This was a neat project I wrapped up for the Memphis Tigers football team this past week. They wanted to send out a flyer showcasing how many players on their team were from the state of Texas. I saw this as a perfect opportunity to create an infographic to showcase both the number of players on the team from Texas as well as the footprint the Tigers have in the state.

To do this, I first started with the list of players, topped off by the list title of "16 Current Players from the State" to give the eye a starting point. I pulled out a couple players to showcase via photos to bring a little life to the piece as well as to help the viewer's eye move around the page a little. I then thought it would be a great idea to tie each player to the city they were from, and what better way to do that than with a map of the state? By tying the list of players to all the cities they represent, I created a great little crisscross of connections that showcase the footprint the Tigers have in the Lone Star State.

This piece was very enjoyable to work on, and I think it does a great job of delivering the message the Tigers wanted.
