inspiration & direction

For this campaign, I wanted to take a more outside-the-box approach by linking the Statue of Liberty—one of NYC’s most iconic symbols—with MLB culture in a way that felt both playful and relatable. The goal was to create a concept that’s instantly recognizable, easy to understand, yet still clever and unexpected, capturing the spirit of the city while staying true to the sport.

sketching & design development

For this design, I focused on capturing a fun, lighthearted motion of the Statue of Liberty, inspired by the playful poses and expressions I found during my research. While adding this humorous twist, I kept the overall graphic subtle and balanced it with a 50/50 focus on bold typography, ensuring the design felt both eye-catching and wearable.
