Creating a Custom Player of the Week Graphic<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the main projects during these weeks was designing a new ASUN Player of the Week graphic for lacrosse. While the athletic department already has a standard template for these posts, they reached out to see if I wanted to create a version that better matched the Stetson lacrosse Instagram theme and overall visual style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When designing this, I pulled inspiration from other graphics I had already created this season, including senior day, takeover, and game day posts. Using those as a reference helped me keep the design cohesive with the rest of our content while still making it feel elevated and specific to the award. This project reinforced how important it is to design within an established brand style, but also how you can build on that to make something feel more tailored to a specific team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Record Graphic Adjustments<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also worked on a record graphic using the template I created earlier in the season. Instead of completely redesigning it, I made small adjustments, especially with fonts and layout details. Even though I stayed within Stetson branding, these subtle changes made the graphic feel more refined and aligned with the direction my designs have been moving in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This showed me how design is often about iteration rather than starting over. Small changes can make a big difference in the overall look, and it\u2019s important to keep improving even when working from an existing template.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hattermy\u2019s Award Posts<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another set of graphics I worked on were for the Hattermy\u2019s, which is the athletic department\u2019s end-of-year awards ceremony. Because there were a large number of winners to post, these graphics were designed using a much more simple and efficient template style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The focus here was less on creating highly detailed designs and more on consistency and speed. Even though the templates were basic, they still needed to look clean, on-brand, and professional when posted together. This experience highlighted the balance between creativity and efficiency, especially when working on high-volume content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lacrosse Prospect Camp Graphics<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also revisited a previous lacrosse prospect camp graphic and updated it to better align with current Stetson branding. The original version used fonts that are no longer part of the athletic department\u2019s brand standards, so I adjusted the typography and layout to match what we use now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even though the updated version is more on-brand, I still think the older design had some stylistic elements that I liked more. This was an interesting challenge because it showed the trade-off between personal design preference and maintaining brand consistency. In a professional setting, staying consistent with the brand is always the priority, even if it means adjusting elements you personally prefer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conclusion<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

These weeks focused on refining and adapting my designs rather than starting from scratch. I continued improving my ability to work within a system while balancing creativity with consistency, which is key in sports marketing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
