2nd Annual Georgey Awards

This year's 2nd Annual Georgey Awards had many components both print and digital. The overall look was clean with a bit of hollywood sparkle to match the feeling of the night. The goal was to bring a bit of elegance and shine to something that is usually raw, rugid, and dirty– college athletics.
 
All pieces released prior to the event or printed were in the lighter buff and all dark pieces were shown exclusively during the event.  Over 70 screens were created for awards, nomineeds, winners, and various presentations. 
 
The word Georgey and the blue blackground were not produced by myself but another graphic designer. You can see the original pieces and compare them to the modified versions used my designs.

Example of a nominee screen. Design was simple and understated to bring the focus to the student athletes, but staying with the dark and stylistic overall theme. (16:9)

Example of a winner screen. This year, we wanted the winner's picture to be more dominate but the overall look to really pop off the screen and contrast with the nominee's screen.
