The Boston Celtics are 2024 NBA Champions!

This is the first opportunity in my design career to put a celebratory graphic for one of my favorite four major sports teams (Celtics/Bruins/Yankees/Jaguars).

The goal of this personal project was primarily exercise in photography

choices to fit the trophy-shaped frame, but also to create a strong

amount of variance to ensure visual interest. The peculiar shape of

the Larry O'Brien Trophy also created an interesting challenge to

maintain visual hierarchy, especially when pulling in the text asset.

The 3D text was created inside After Effects by utilizing the Element 3D

plug-in (shout out to Video Copilot, they have an excellent product).

I think this helps compliment the players and highlight

the importance of this momentous accomplishment.
