Slingshot Sports
GRAPHIC DESIGN, POSTER + PRESENTATION DESIGN
—
Slingshot Sports has always been about tinkering, exploring, and finding the next great adventure.
PROJECT BRIEF
Slingshot Sports needed an updated guide for a new line of kite-boards they were developing. The guide would also double as a poster the customer could use to display the board in their home. The idea being to upcycle and allow for reuse instead of having them be discarded or thrown away. It was also important to Slingshot that the guide be visually interesting as a complete piece as well as usable when folded in half lengthwise.
FUN FACTS
I met Mira at the gym and began a great conversation about my skills and expertise. The projects they sent to me were amazing and fun, just like the company.
Hired as a freelancer, I was tasked with creating magazine layouts and print ads for use online and in print.
After a short trial period, I was tasked with a quick start guide and launch marketing materials for a new product release.

Each guide included a poster that was to be printed on the reverse side. The intention was to cut down on the possibility of the guide being thrown away after a customer unpacks the product.

Coinciding with product launch, a tshirt was also screen-printed and provided to the partners and employees. I was tasked with creating this tshirt with two different concepts.
