This is a small snippet from the Purdue football pregame rolls that air on game day. They're basically a series of messages that roll on the LED wall. The frame was modeled in Maya by Brad Sommer. The content slides and compositing were done by me in Photoshop and After Effects. Everything we created for these rolls loop and were designed to be pieced seamlessly together in editing software.
I said in a previous post that I'd update the blast from the past video with a final render when done. Well we finished them so here's the final product. If you've been to any Purdue football games you've seen this on the jumbotron.
So I know I haven't posted in a while. That's because I've been swamped at work and haven't had the energy to do so. Well, I hope to remedy that in the coming weeks and I'll start here with this. The final design for one of the Purdue football recruitment posters.
I played around with a bunch of different slogans and variants of the text and ultimately decided to go simple and just have "I am a boilermaker" on the poster. I sometimes struggle with combining the image with the logo and text elements, wanting the image to just say it all, but overall I feel these play well together.
As you can see I added the crossing hammers logo on the poster. I guess we're hoping this becomes a standard Purdue athletics logo and by branding everything we make with it, we'll achieve that goal. It worked for Purdue Pete (the boilermaker special is the official mascot) and we're hoping it'll work for us. Enjoy.
You can go to this post to see a little more on how I assembled the poster.
