I created the 2022 Rays Visual Campaign and design system to be unique, versatile, simple and digital-first. I utilized customized noisy backgrounds, special palettes, and grainy photocopy textures and elements- a nod to underground zine culture. I added compartmentalized shapes that can be filled with branding, messaging, or eye-catching art. Finally, I used bauhaus german inspired shapes and lines along with the quirky Antique Olive Nord typeface to give the look a cohesive through line.
I pitched the campaign directly to upper executives and ownership for notes and approval. Then, I created comprehensive guides and assets to train the entire creative team. The look will continue to evolve as I collaborate with our team of talented designers, animators, video producers, and photographers to tell the story of the magic of Rays baseball.
