Building on Templates & Expanding Content

During these two weeks, a lot of my work focused on building off templates I had already created and turning them into finished posts. For record and milestone graphics, I used the templates I designed earlier in the season and filled them out with updated player stats and photos. This made the process more efficient while still keeping everything consistent with Stetson Athletics’ branding.

Athletic Training Month Post

I also created a post for Athletic Training Month. With this design, I intentionally kept it simple while still making it visually strong. Instead of overcomplicating it, I focused on clean typography, a strong photo, and clear messaging. This helped highlight the importance of athletic trainers while keeping the graphic professional and easy to read.

Lacrosse Senior Day Graphics

Another key project was designing senior day graphics for lacrosse. These posts are more meaningful than typical game content because they highlight individual athletes and their time with the program. I focused on making each graphic feel personal while still keeping a consistent layout across all seniors so the set looked cohesive when posted together.

Tournament Template Creation

I also created a tournament template that will be used by both men’s and women’s tennis, as well as men’s and women’s golf. Even though the current version uses placeholder athletes, the goal was to build something flexible and reusable across multiple teams. This project made me think more about designing for long-term use rather than just a one-time post.

All-Academic Template

Lastly, I designed an All-Academic template that can be used by all spring teams at the end of the season. Similar to the tournament template, this was built with adaptability in mind so different teams can easily plug in their athletes. It reinforced how important it is to create designs that are not only visually appealing but also practical for others to use.

Conclusion

These weeks helped me continue improving my efficiency while designing within a system. Reusing templates, creating versatile designs, and knowing when to keep things simple all played a big role in my workflow. It showed me that strong sports design isn’t always about starting from scratch, but about building resources that can be used across an entire program.
