Rivalry - Bird vs Magic

Basketball Poster Illustration

This project is part of a personal sports illustration series I create outside of my client work in apparel graphics, team identity, and logo design. Each piece begins with a hand sketch where I develop the pose, composition, and overall energy of the athlete. I then bring the drawing into Adobe Illustrator to create clean vector line work, refine shapes, and build the typography and graphic structure of the design. Once the vector illustration is complete, the artwork is moved into Adobe Photoshop where I apply textures, lighting, gradients, and other visual effects to give the poster a bold, dynamic finish.

This workflow allows me to combine illustration, typography, and digital design techniques while experimenting with creative sports visuals. Selected designs from this series will be released as online prints and merchandise.
