The Brief

To create a call-for-entry poster for the annual Nike Basketball League Competition, the most prestigious and competitive Basketball League in town.

Creative Execution

Being their own creation, the posters meant more than just posters to the players the creative process became an exclusive and unique experience shared only by them in their community.

Describe the creative solution to the brief/objective.

We have literally transferred the spirit of competiton onto the posters. 350 posters were handmade by the players. Images of the top 10 players, each representing a unique skill were turned into printing templates. Then they were invited to a silkscreen workshop to print their images on top of each other. The posters became their battlefield. The random cross-printing became their battles. And the printing process became our message.

Results

Places for the Nike Basketball League quickly filled up, and the posters became one of the most sought-after Nike collectibles among the players' community.
