Overview

Creative Media Intern for NC State Football, where I made over 50 recruitment graphics. The ones that mattered were made for one person.

A recruiting graphic is not a poster for an audience. It is a pitch to a specific kid who has other offers: his name, his number, his photo cut into our uniform, sent to him. In practice that means a lot of Photoshop. Cutting a player out cleanly, and matching the light on the cutout so it does not read as pasted on.

TLDR: GO PACK!

50+recruitment graphics produced for NC State Football
