Designer: ALLFORLEONewport Parish Council, on the Isle of Wight (UK), is holding an ‘in bloom’ competition in 2012 with a difference! Instead of judging gardens on how many flowers it has, or how glamorous it is, they are encouraging Newport and Carisbrooke’s residents to grow gardens that are good for wildlife and for the environment.
Fictional logo for an Adidas-themed résumé. This is in no way affiliated with Adidas.
Earlier this year, Adidas Originals had an open Design Director position in their Portland HQ, and, being a lover of the brand, I decided to apply. To demonstrate not only my skills as a graphic designer, but also my knowledge and respect for the adidas brand and its legacy, I designed a self-promo booklet (a highly-conceptual adaptation of my current résumé) that is aesthetically inspired by adidas Originals marketing brochures. The booklet chronicles the accomplishments of a fictional alter-ego, Coach Ramirez — an adidas track suit wearing, afro'd, mustachioed designer — and is written as if he's actually the Design Director at adidas Originals. Sadly, I didn't get the job.
