LeBron James
Client: The Ringer
Art Direction: David Shoemaker
Editorial Illustration
Concept Approval
This project was an extremely short turnaround with the direction being that they wanted a triumphant LeBron James. After the first, check-in the concept was approved but I was asked to provide various options in grayscale/B&W to match the theme of the article series.
Options Provided
Upon finishing the illustration, I provided three options for them to choose from. For the article they ultimately ran with the pure grayscale/B&W version. My personal favorite was the version with the touch of gold which I used on my personal social media.
