01 · Pitch brief

What the concept needed to communicate

The pitch needed to make a brand-new league feel credible and premium before it had any digital heritage. The concept used a broad family of app screens to make the team format and commercial opportunity easy to grasp.

02 · Concept work

The work

The creative prompt was to imagine a new league with a premium digital presence from day one and show how its team format could be made legible across a broad family of app screens.

Live coverage with context

To give the pitch depth beyond a single hero screen, the viewing concept keeps video, scores, team context, and the course close together. The shot timeline, leaderboard, and map show how the new format could be expressed visually.

The brand, applied as a visual system

I applied the identity as a concept UI system so every screen in the deck felt premium and related. The same hierarchy carries from an immersive player hero into dense profile and team information.

Extending the system into commerce

The visual language was also extended into imagined merchandise and subscription screens. Reusing the same type, palette, and hierarchy made the commercial part of the proposal feel like a natural extension of the wider concept.

03 · Scope

What this concept demonstrates

The pitch produced a cross-platform direction spanning live coverage, teams, player profiles and commerce. My contribution covered UX and visual design across the concept.

04 · Reflection

The new format needed context beside the action

I placed live video, individual scores and team context together to give the unfamiliar competition model an explicit reading order.
