OVERVIEW
A selection of social content designed and produced for Puma Hoops' Instagram. Puma Hoops (Puma basketball) outsourced its design work to Nowadays. Working as a Junior Graphic Designer, some of the content was created autonomously and some of it was collaborative in a small team of five.
        The Nowadays team armed Puma with a diverse toolkit of hand-drawn logos and scrawls, photography and film and lo-fi collage, incorporating meme-culture, to create a disruptive, anti-establishment personality for the brand.
