This poster was created to spotlight the standout athletes of the Kankakee High School Track & Field team and to build excitement leading into their competitive season. The concept focused on capturing the team’s unity, strength, and dominance — symbolized by the central figure draped in medals, representing both legacy and aspiration.

My design approach emphasized dramatic lighting, layered textures, and strong depth of field to give the composition a professional, media-day aesthetic. Each athlete was photographed individually and carefully composited to form a cohesive, cinematic team portrait that feels powerful and motivational.

• Created a heroic, spotlight-driven composition highlighting the team’s energy and confidence

• Balanced school colors with metallic type and subtle texture for visual weight

• Focused on post-production polish — lighting, skin tones, and environmental glow for realism

• Optimized the final file for both print and digital display
