I recently designed all of the branding and awards materials for the 2011 Racked Awards. These are two early ideas for the general direction, and the Racked crew decided to go with the version on the left.  I used this idea and expanded it out to the awards trophies, posters, invitations and even the side of a white panel truck. This was such a fun project to be a part of and the folks at Racked were great to work with.  I’ll have more to post on this soon, but for now here’s a link to the slideshow from the event.

Some Deadspin Pieces

Since I’m still new to this Tumblr thing, I thought I’d post a few of my favorite illustrations for Deadspin over the past few months.

The geniuses at the Harvard Sports Collective created a web generator that will connect any NBA player to another by the teams they played on. I created this graphic for them.

This infographic (also for the Harvard Sports Nerds) breaks down all of the reported sports injuries in 2010 by body part.

This is a piece that ran when Deadspin launched the new redesign. This was created by hand on paper and then photographed.

This one is also drawn on paper and photographed. This was for a story about how the dunk contest should be replaced with a one-on-one contest (which sadly never ran, but it is one of my favorites.)
