Cincinnati Bengals Spec Work

I design on‑ and off‑the‑clock, so for fun I whipped up a series of game‑day posters for my hometown Cincinnati Bengals. The team noticed and several layouts ended up inspiring their official graphics for the remainder of that season. A s/o would have been nice 😅

On Sundays I gave myself a two‑hour sprint to design fresh game‑day posters for the Cincinnati Bengals. I picked the team because, for a former Super‑Bowl contender with sky‑high energy, their existing graphics felt tame compared with other NFL clubs. The personal challenge—one poster, start‑to‑finish, on the day of each game—let me flex new ideas in real time and eventually caught the Bengals’ eye, influencing their official visuals that season.
