2016 BRANDING AND PROJECT SETUP

This past April, Ryan Ewing reached out to me on an interesting design and aviation project. I'm all ears, turns out Ryan lined up American Airlines to join him on the first annual #AAviation Day. The day offers a behind-the-sequences look at American Airlines operations across this domestic hubs across the country and in the UK. The type treatment is blend of custom hand-drawn script and a lightweight san-serif. The lightweight and open appearance speaks to flight, it is uplifting and arcs upward. The script also speaks to the feel good mood and excitement of the day. In August 2015 we also worked together refine the AirlineGeeks.com branding.

2016 FINAL DAY SOCIAL PROMOS

We added to the excitement on social media for #AAviationDay with these various messaging graphics

EXCLUSIVE ACCESS TO DAILY OPERATIONS

We wanted to convey the inside access to American's operations through exclusive photography captured through 2016.

CAPTURING THE AVGEEK SPIRIT

Planespotting is a unique culture onto itself. We also needed  to logo to express the excitement and passion for aviation and airliners.

All starts with a basic sketch

SOCIAL ACTIVATION

Going in we knew GIFs would be an engaging way to showcase great American AIrlines photography to promo the day. That said, We worked on a few various solutions to push to the AIrlineGeeks twitter account.
