MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL
COLLECTION OF WORK
During the summer of 2019, I had the privilege of interning at Major League Baseball Advanced Media in New York, NY. Working as a graphic designer for the Gaming & VR Department, I created multiple event graphics promoting MLB's video games R.B.I. Baseball 19, Home Run Derby Mobile, and Home Run Derby VR.
Some of the following graphics were created to promote the games alongside the 2019 All-Star Game or the 2019 Little League World Series. I was also tasked with copywriting the social media campaign across all MLB gaming accounts and Twitch for the Home Run Derby VR competition.
