Hawaiian: The Legend of Eddie Aikau on ESPN
01. October 2013: Tune in for the World Premiere of "Hawaiian: The Legend of Eddie Aikau" on ESPN 30 for 30 at 8pm ET/5pm PT.
In 2012 I was hired by Sam George and Paul Taublieb to develop a concept + design for their documentary "Hawaiian: The Legend of Eddie Aikau". I was so honored to be part of this outstanding project, simply stoked and worked very hard to develop a collage that is in line with the Hawaiian "Story Telling" approach, a visual homage to Eddie and also follows my artistic vision. The design and artwork that I had developed was well received and everybody was pleased. The team used the artwork to promote the film at festivals as well as in the media.
ESPN, the underwriter of the production, changed the poster and developed something new, simply a more basic concept, yet compelling and strong. I do like the poster, it has a nice clean look, very modern, yet I think that the collage I developed illustrates and connect to the actual history and the man behind it in a more visual poetic way.
I am happy to have been part of this outstanding documentation and I am honored that I was able to contribute with my artistic vision and balance. ~
