'Dear Basketball' Editorial

  • Angie Bacallan

An editorial tribute to Kobe Bryant, based on Dear Basketball, a letter he wrote to the The Players' Tribune announcing his retirement from basketball. The Word & Image project aimed to demonstrate how verbal-textual and graphical elements interact to create meaning in graphic communication. Editorial Design • 3rd Year Project, University of Reading

Visual Design & Final Outcome

The editorial highlights two narratives in Bryant’s letter; the white text being the journey through his basketball career, and the orange text being a love letter to basketball itself.
