︎ INSIGHT
Street League Skateboarding is an international competition in skateboarding. Featuring 25 professional street skateboarders competing for the largest dollar prize in the history of skateboarding.

︎ CONCEPT
Nike SB sponsored the New Jersey final at the Prudential Centre. To connect the thousands of fans with their favourite skateboarders I designed a poster for each of the 9 Nike SB athletes competing in this years event. The tagline line ‘Can’t turn it off’ provided the tone the design would adopt.
︎ SOLUTION
15,000 posters were placed on seats inside the arena so fans could use them to show support for each skater capture autographs as a memento of the occasion. Using angular patterns and vibrant colours for each athlete I incorporated their names using a bold modular typography. The design was integrated into the pop-up skate park and used as branding throughout the event.
