On November 1st, 2012, the Brooklyn Nets will officially open their season at the Barclays Center against the New York Knicks. These are my promotional graphics for that monumental occasion.
On Opening Night, everything is Black and White
As the Nets have been saying, "A Storm Is Coming."
On Opening Night, only one team can emerge victorious. We Will Rise.
This may be the first time I posted a Brooklyn Nets graphic featuring two Nets in one live shot. That is what lured me into designing this one. I thought it would be interesting to see what it may look like when we take on the Knicks and this picture was perfect to play with.
Rumor has it that the Nets will be offering former Net, Brian Scalabrine, a training camp invite. Scalabrine was a part of our run to the finals ten years ago and may now be returning to the team that drafted him. I've always like Scal so I wouldn't mind seeing a return, but I was more excited about putting him in black and white.
I can't take credit for the original photo featuring Brian emerging from the fire. Somebody else made that and credit must go to that unknown artist. But I am taking credit for adding the Brooklyn Black and White, along with the logo.
This graphics blog has been all Nets for the past three months. In that time, I put Dwight in Brooklyn gear and, because of it, I was put on ESPN.com. But, it's all over now and Dwight has officially been traded to the Los Angeles Lakers.
Like I said in the beginning, this isn't "My Nets GraphiCKs," this is a blog designed to feature anything I have to offer. So far, that's been nothing but net, but today I present the quickly designed, Purple and Gold, Superman logo. As a Nets fan, I wish it was black and white, but it is what it is. Let's go Brook!
And, while I'm posting graphics that are non-Nets related, I recently made a design for a DJ who e-mailed me for a logo. His name is DJ T-Conks and was looking for something with a vinyl record and wording he wrote. He also wanted it to pop, so I went with a blue. The following is what he received and, thankfully, he was more than pleased!

I've ventured out into video. It's not really my forte, but I had to add some type of video for viewers to watch when they listen to the audio I've come up with.
As a fan, I want the opening night to be impactful, setting up the rivalry with the Knicks and welcoming me to the new arena. That's what this custom Opening Night Intro is for. Regardless of whether or not the Nets do something like this, I wanted to make my own.
Written by me. Special thanks to Jasen Anthony for the amazing voice over. Credit for video goes to all their original sources. Like I said, I'm graphics and audio.
I've recently been timelined on Facebook and, at first, I was a bit upset. But, on the bright side, you get to use an awesome cover photo and that I actually like. So, with that, I decided to use some of my previous designs to create cover photos that fit perfectly. Here they are..
If you were watching the 2012 Olympics Opening Ceremony, then you probably saw the new Budweiser commercial featuring Jay-Z wearing a Nets hat. If you didn't, then check it out here.
Using two screen caps, I made two new Nets graphics featuring the minority owner.
In the first, pictured above, you can't tell who the figure is, you can only make out the silhouette. What is visible, however, is "Nets" on this unidentified man's hat. It's almost ominous. Something is coming, and it's coming to takeover New York on November 1st. It's threatening and that's the theme I'm going for as the Nets take on the Knicks on opening night!
In the second image, you can now tell it's Jay-Z in the image and, again, the hat is clearly identified. Jay-Z appears to be looking at something. He's glaring off into the distance. What does he see. "Can You See The Vision?" Perhaps it's the Blueprint to Success. We'll find out on November 1st.
