Entrepreneurship Program
The Art of Entrepreneurship creative campaign
EY’s Entrepreneur Of The Year program celebrates ambitious visionaries who are leading successful, dynamic businesses in the US. We were asked to develop imagery and visuals that could carry the program through 4 phases: Nominations, Judging, Winners, Celebration, and across all media types.
My Role
- Art Direction
- Imagery selection
- Photoshop compositing work
- Pitch presentation
The Art of Entrepreneurship theme recognizes the artistic entrepreneurs who continuously repaint and reframe our economy from innovative new angles through their passionate work and commitment. This theme pays homage to the artful balance of passion, determination, character, and skill needed to create businesses that address the most complex challenges and build a better working world. What we created for EY has four distinct creative approaches that work together as a whole.
CAMPAIGN VISUALS
Our hero art was inspired by René Magritte’s painting The Son Of Man, but we changed the sillhouette of the primary figure to be more gender inclusive. And we changed the art on the wall to harmonize with the other campaign visuals.
