ESPN commissioned me to create illustrative icons for their Photo Issue. They wanted me to incorporate elements from photographic tools (both old and new) to the icons.
My solution was to combine sports and photography in a witty & quirky manner:
1. American Football. The QB throws an “eye ball”
2. Swimming. Film strip that’s a pool.
3. Baseball. A shutter homerun.
4. Soccer. A goal towards a polaroid.
5. X-games. Grinding over a lens.
6. Basketball. He dunks on a goal post out of a camera tripod.
7. Various sports. A film strip that works as a boxing ring, running track, pole vault bar and a tennis net.
The rough sketches I made for this particular illustration.
