We all knew it but we needed to help convince media voters early in the 22/23 season. Since the All-Star game was going to be back in SLC for a second time since 1993, we wanted to pay homage to the 90s by recreating fun posters that were from that time by the Costacos brothers. We embraced Lauri’s finnish alter ego “The Finnisher” cause when he steps on the court, he’s cold as ice. We sent these poster to media voters with the hope that they would make Lauri an All-Star and well, it worked :) <img width="1000" height="1548" width_o="1000" height_o="1548" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/161d2292deed5155bd1187599342ca6d7ddda3dd0f0a29c1ff1691e492c33b8f/JAZ2223_All-Star_PremiumPoster.jpg" data-mid="165782416" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/161d2292deed5155bd1187599342ca6d7ddda3dd0f0a29c1ff1691e492c33b8f/JAZ2223_All-Star_PremiumPoster.jpg" /> RoleCreative Director https://chrisryangeorge.com/Utah-Jazz-Brand Thu, 03 Sep 2020 19:02:24 +0000 Three First Names https://chrisryangeorge.com/Utah-Jazz-Brand Utah Jazz Each season is the opportunity to tell a new story for the team through motion, color, type, and connection.

Mammoth were all across Utah in the last ice age, so we worked with our local museums to create this piece.

The show was held at Cal State Fullerton in LA, a large recruiting hub for Nickelodeon Animation. Here's some of the awesome things I was fortunate enough to work on and bring to life with the team. THE "BIG KID" LIVING ROOM | Recreate a Child's Saturday Morning from 1991 in Nostalgia &amp; Scale <img width="1400" height="2510" width_o="1400" height_o="2510" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/f59adbf4ad6c0f25b0184cba5787173160d29068e5935b7e6b1aa3731984aa4a/LivingRoom-copy.jpg" data-mid="165780974" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/f59adbf4ad6c0f25b0184cba5787173160d29068e5935b7e6b1aa3731984aa4a/LivingRoom-copy.jpg" /> THE TV | We wanted to have several interactive elements throughout the show, one being the television. We figured out a way to have it play only Nickelodeon shows and commercials, as well as allow people to change the channel from one show to the next. <img width="1400" height="995" width_o="1400" height_o="995" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e3b72c71542fb6449afeda628ed1c2a22a811c099dd0cb9d56ba9d06d76a8c0e/LivingRoom2-copy.jpg" data-mid="165780975" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/e3b72c71542fb6449afeda628ed1c2a22a811c099dd0cb9d56ba9d06d76a8c0e/LivingRoom2-copy.jpg" /> The Kinetic Head | We were asked to come up with an interactive installation for the show. We thought it would be amazing to create a Nick head that shows "Where Ideas Come From". We found a local artist, Andrew Smith, who makes kinetic ball machines and together we created magic. <img width="1400" height="2600" width_o="1400" height_o="2600" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/760fb1eeb676a9e56fb7801d86190466da2c78e05c6fd717a7fcd348a714929e/KineticHead.jpg" data-mid="165780977" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/760fb1eeb676a9e56fb7801d86190466da2c78e05c6fd717a7fcd348a714929e/KineticHead.jpg" /> The Arcade Brain | With Andrew, we brained stormed many ideas/objects that we could put inside the head that represent the creativity of the Nick brand. One of the most intricate pieces that we figured out was the arcade brain. A billiard 8 ball rolls around the entirety of the Nick head and at one point enters the arcade box "Spheroid", turning it on. The ball drops into 4 different pixel worlds that I personally got to design and animate. After the ball has completed its 9 second mission, it exits back into real 8 ball form and continues on rolling throughout the head. The machine is set on an infinite loop that lasts about 35 seconds. The Gallery | I was fortunate to work side by side with other amazing designers and creators who helped bring this whole show to life.
