Bear Down & Out is an NBC Chicago Original Documentary that aired on NBC 5 and NBC Sports Chicago as well as our local station groups digital and OTT platforms. I was the the design lead for this project which involved creating the show look, title open, editor toolkit and promotional trailer.
The documentary was less about football and more about financial aspect of building a new stadium and it's socio-economic impact on the community, along with the benefits and pitfalls the organization is faced with regardless which outcome it chooses. Knowing the context helped steer the design choices to visually marry finances with football which is why animated number strings and football play graphics are used throughout the project.
The above slides showcase the different design elements & typography used for the promotional trailer, show title and in-show lower thirds & supers.
