01 / TOURNAMENT CREATIVE

A Season Of
Big Moments.

FIBA brought me in to shape the tournament’s creative output across the 2021–22 BCL Americas season. Building on the existing league identity, I created the season’s tournament marks and a connected set of graphics for digital campaigns, event spaces, game presentation and print.

MY CONTRIBUTION

I art directed and designed the tournament-specific creative, then guided print production and coordinated delivery with FIBA’s Miami team and teams in Nicaragua, Argentina and Brazil.

02 / A MULTI-CHANNEL SYSTEM

From The Feed
To The Fan Zone.

The work connected audience-facing campaign content with the atmosphere inside the venue. Each format was designed for its own setting while carrying the same tournament energy.

01

Tournament identity

Season-specific tournament marks and graphic language, built around FIBA’s existing league identity.

02

Campaign & social

Promotional graphics for the tournament, clubs, matchups and championship moments.

03

Player presentation

Player intro cards and arena LED content designed to read clearly at game speed.

04

Fan zone & arena

Visuals for the fan zone and event environment, extending the tournament outside the court.

05

Court & game day

Center-court and surrounding court graphics, matchup LEDs and event presentation assets.

06

Adelante

Social creative for FIBA’s webinar series about women’s basketball, clubs and national programs.

07

Champions & merchandise

Championship social content and T-shirt graphics celebrating the tournament winners.

08

Production & coordination

Print direction and delivery coordination with FIBA’s teams across multiple host countries.

03 / CENTER COURT

The Floor As
The Main Canvas.

The Final 8 lockup, free-throw emblems and sideline graphics were built as one court-scale system. This court presentation makes the design’s intended scale clear; the underlying production guide remains available for closer inspection.

04 / PLAYER & GAME PRESENTATION

Read At
Game Speed.

Player introductions and matchups had to register on long, narrow LED boards. I designed the exported graphics around player imagery, club identity and the event mark so they remained legible across the arena.

05 / THE EVENT IN PLAY

Designed To
Meet The Moment.

One supplemental court presentation and the documented event photography together show the system at arena scale. Documentary imagery is labeled by year; presentation artwork remains clearly marked.
