Nike Air: Molecule

Here is another design originally intended for a Nike Air t-shirt. This was created around the same time as the previous Los Angeles 1984 design, presumably for the same campaign. Once again, I was tasked with taking a previous illustration Nike had in their archive, and redesigning with a modern flare. This was a fun one, and I had a good time working with the gradients.

Once the job was complete I once again took it upon myself to finish the design with some textures and lighting. I enjoy doing the straight textures but the design really comes to life when those additional details are added.

The specific poster design you see here wasn’t used, just something I did after the fact. I’m not sure where the molecule design itself landed in the campaign, if you see it let me know.

    I sounds like you didn’t get to know anything about the final campaign and how your stuff was used. Is this normal for work you do? I’d really like to see the original to take a look at how you work, what you change and what you keep, etc.

    I’m a big fan, so don’t get me wrong, but how about going back to multicolores gradients as a trademark instead of the lensflares?
