FORMULA 1 MERCH*
MERCHANDISE DESIGN-TYPOGRAPHY-ILLUSTRATION
200+ mph, crushing G-forces, zero room for error: Formula One is one of the most extreme sports out there. Its merch is made for fans who feel that rush every race day.
INTRO
Walk through any F1 merch collection and you'll see the same thing: team colors, sponsor logos and very little personality. The drivers, the very people fans tune in for, are barely represented in the merch.
PROBLEM
Merch that puts the driver first. Starting with three drivers, I designed collections shaped by each driver's personality, style, and story, made to be worn at the track and long after the race ends.
SOLUTION
LEWIS HAMILTON
Lewis Hamilton is not only a seven-time World Champion and one of the OGs of the sport, but a style icon who turns the paddock into a runway. I reimagined his number 44 as a luxury monogram with fine lines and gold details, made for a driver unlike anyone else
