Hey all, hope you're having a good Christmas/New Years break.
Coming up on January 17 is my one year anniversary of joining BigFooty. Over the course of the year I joined a few competitions, namely the CAN-AM Premiership and the ongoing T20A (in which I achieved a Qualifying Final spot).
Although it was my first year, looking back I can't help but think about how much I could've added (or omitted) to make these designs better. Through this trial and error, I've learnt a fair bit about what makes a design good or bad, at least at my level.
Now, on to the portfolio...
CAN-AM Premiership - CLEVELAND KINGS (formerly Cleveland Cannons)
Thinking about how my designs could've been much better, I've decided to start from ground-zero and give my CAN-AM team a face lift and a half. Unbeknownst to me, there is actually a USAFL team in Cleveland called... the Cannons (I initially called them the Cannons based on the Calder Cannons). Upon this realisation it was better for me just to rebrand.
Here's a few variations of the concept banner for the CLEVELAND KINGS with a logo to give an idea of what it's looking like so far.
I have two competing palettes right now as you can see with the two designs. I'd love to have some feedback and see what you guys think, but I love the creamish-yellow shade.
As for a guernsey...
This is obviously extremely rough, but it's there to provide the concept. With the regular yellow it gives off a Gold Coast-vibe so I'm liking how the cream yellow differentiates it. Almost looks like the 49ers...
The arcs going across the design are conceptual at this stage. Thought about putting "KINGS" inside, but that could be a big too basic. They are currently a reference to the many bridges of Ohio.
Thank you all for reading so far. I will continue to post to this portfolio with any concepts or full designs I come up with in the future.
FEEDBACK ON ANYTHING WOULD BE AWESOME - Constructive criticism even better.
I'd just like to thank everyone on FJGD for making this first year a great one!
