Skull Racing

Marketing Director & Social Media Manager 2018-2019

The Details:

Skull Racing is a small motorsports startup focusing on premium hand-assembled pocket bike products. I started collaborating with them initially as a freelancer and eventually joined the team as effectively the entire media department. I developed graphics, print products and other advertising materials, as well as produced a series of how-to videos for assembly and maintenance of products. The standout project however, was the production of our product instruction manuals.

Brand Update

One of my fist projects with Skull Racing was producing some minor refinements and upgrades to the company logo, which had initially been produced by another freelance designer. I cleaned up the vector shapes to be symmetrical, set our signature 2-color gradient and introduced the orange spike under the text to help add motion to the design.

Skull Racing T-Shirt Concept

This design ended up not getting made due to the expense of production/failure to find a local production partner willing to do it, but this is one of my favorite merch designs I made for the company.

50RR T-Shirt Concept

Designed as a merch to go with our signature PB 50RR pocket bike, this design was planned to go on multiple color shirts to match the various colors the product was offered in. Unfortunately lack of demand kept this product from being manufactured.
