Challenges
ASICS is a sportswear company known for their performance running shoes. Ahead of launching a 5th generation of their Novablast model, a brief was issued to design a social ad campaign that highlighted the shoe's updated styling and tech specs for attracting previous and new customers alike; particularly younger audiences. My role here included Concept Design, Art Direction and Graphic Design.

Solutions
A creative strategy was developed around the name Novablast and the tagline "Feel comfort, find energy" combining images of the shoe with colorful, supernova-inspired energy blasts in deep space environments. AI-generated imagery was used to mock up examples for stakeholder sign-off.

Production
The shoes were suspended over a large digital display on which custom backgrounds could be projected and positioned precisely. The screen's glow together with primary and accent lighting effectively allowed for in-camera compositing that helped shorten post-production.

Design
Post-production focused on complimenting the photography with a graphic treatment that highlighted the brand's comfort and energy messaging while helping the products visually resonate with the target audience.
