In the weeks leading up to the NBA All-Star Weekend 2016, I was given the amazing opportunity to work closely with the NBA and Twitter on creating the official new Emojis that would represent the players in the All-Star game in Toronto.
The emojis would be usable by everyone on twitter using the #FirstnameLastname of the player and would also be a way for the public to vote for their All-Star MVP!
#LeBronJames
#DwyaneWade
#PaulGeorge
#KyleLowry
#CarmeloAnthony
#JohnWall
#DeMarDeRozan
#AlHorford
#AndreDrummond
#PaulMillsap
#IsaiahThomas
#PauGasol
#KobeBryant
#StephCurry
#RussellWestbrook
#KawhiLeonard
#KevinDurant
#DeMarcusCousins
#ChrisPaul
#LaMarcusAldridge
#JamesHarden
#AnthonyDavis
#DraymondGreen
#KlayThompson
This project was hectic and a crazy amount of work, but also one of the funnest things I've worked on to date. Seeing the designs I made jump from my screen into the actual NBA players hands is also definitely a career highlight for me, that I think will be difficult to top!
The emojis are live all through All-Star Weekend 2016, so get on twitter and try them out and let me know which is your favourite!
