The Sports and the Arts selected me to design large typographic images converted to wall graphics at brand-new Minnesota, Milwaukee, and Detroit venues.
Displayed in U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, MN.
Displayed in the Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee, WI.
Displayed in the Little Caesar Arena in Detroit, MI
These projects comprised posters and postcards commissioned for Football Executives from College, the National Football League, and the Minnesota Vikings.
I have created these word art projects based on the National Football League to practice my skills with pen and ink. I would be happy to design more of them as commissions. Contact me here: michaeljamesshay15@gmail.com
Like the NFL, I continued to practice my pen-and-ink typography skills for Major League Baseball teams!
Yellow Submarine is where it all began! I created Fifteen Typographic Posters based on Beatles songs used in their 1968 Film "Yellow Submarine." This success inspired me to make two more designs based on Minnesota's Prince and the Grateful Dead!
This page showcases my pen and ink typography practice with the teams of the National Hockey League.
These are projects that use both traditional and digital media. Some projects were created using graphite, scanned, and digitally drawn with a digital drawing pad.
Here are two designs based around the holidays and for the Minnesota State Fair, combined with digital and traditional media!
Inspired by the 2021 Milwaukee Bucks Championship Season and my work in the Fiserv Forum, I wanted to make another design based on the Bucks. These typographic studies are inspired by the 1971 & 2021 NBA Championships they won!
