Join the Society of Publication Designers on Wednesday, November 5th at 7:00PM ET for an exciting virtual panel exploring the dynamic intersection of sports, creativity, and visual storytelling.
In “Creative Playbook: Visual Storytelling in Sports,” we dive into how top creatives bring the emotion, intensity, and spectacle of sports to life through design, illustration, and photography. Whether it's the rush of a last-second buzzer beater or the quiet drama behind the scenes, sports stories demand bold, compelling visuals and this panel is here to break down how it's done.
Moderated by Luke Knox, Creative Director at ESPN, the conversation will feature insights from:
Sol Neelman: Renegade sports photographer known for capturing the wonderfully weird side of athletics
Robert Generette III (Rob Zilla): Illustrator whose kinetic, bold style brings athletes and action to life
Skye Gould: Award-winning designer known for transforming data and storytelling into powerful visual narratives
This is a must-attend for designers, art directors, illustrators, and anyone interested in how sports and visual media collide in exciting, unexpected ways.
