NBC Camps needed to attract attention to their basketball and volleyball camps, increase registrations, and enhance the effectiveness of their advertising campaigns with professionally created visuals and text for Facebook and Instagram ads.

Research & Analysis:
I started by defining the goals for the creatives, ensuring they complemented the ad content and were visually appealing. I analyzed the target audience and researched similar themes, selecting relevant design references. Collaborating with the copywriter and marketer helped refine the content for the creatives.

Visual Design:
I developed five alternative design concepts for basketball camps. I selected color schemes, typography, and style solutions based on general design principles, research, and client preferences. Adapting the client's photos to fit the visual style was a crucial part of this process.

Interaction with the Marketing Team:
I discussed the design concepts with the marketing team, finalizing the designs and content. We selected four main solutions, which were then sent to the client for approval. Only minimal edits were required, ensuring the designs met all specifications.

Creation of Creatives for All Activities:
I developed banners for volleyball camps using the approved design solutions. These were finalized with input from marketers and the client, ensuring consistency across all target audiences.
