I had the pleasure once again of collaborating with BlinkMyBrain on another graphic pack for The Athletic, the sports division of The New York Times.
This time, we developed the opening show and full graphic package for the podcast The Athletic Football Show.
This time, we developed the opening show and full graphic package for the podcast The Athletic Football Show.
The Athletic Football Show is the flagship NFL podcast of The Athletic, hosted by Robert Mays alongside Derrik Klassen and Dave Helman. They dive into the biggest stories in the league, breaking down plays, analyzing roster moves, and sharing their expertise with a mix of insight and fun.
For this project, I worked on the art direction using a collage-inspired approach combined with type animation. We created playful visuals, including a rocket built from a football, while also incorporating images of the hosts to bring personality and energy to the package.
