NIKE DREAM SEASON 2008
"My Harlem" shirt graphic - Influenced by the iconic "I Heart NY" T-shirt graphic, "My Harlem" is a visual homage to the basketball epicenter that is Harlem, New York-and consequently straight to the soul of the Harlem ball-player.
My Harlem (Journal pg.1) - Wide-tip brush and India ink to come up with the heart graphic. It took about 100 or so times to get it right, but the final look fit well with the rest of the concept and design. The heart graphic is rough and more uncut, emphasizing the heart-and-soul feel of New York street basketball (as was the theme of Nike Basketball in 08). 2008
My Harlem (Journal pg.2) - Experimentation with black letter typography. These sketches were influenced by other black letter script. 2008
My Harlem (Journal pg.4) - Many (but not all) hearts. 2008
