The 2014 NCFA Yearbook

// THE PROJECT 
 
The NCFA is a college fantasy football league run on Chris Creamer’s Sports Logo Community by myself and a few other members.
 
Since joining the league in 2012, I had a dream to make this fantasy league the premier college fantasy league on the internet. Couple this with my passion for sports design, and we have a super-fun, extensive side project that occupies my free time for about 6 months a year.
I started the ‘media guide’ craze last year, and after seeing the tremendous support from both the design and fantasy sports community, I decided to head up our small design team of 3 and take this year’s to the next level.
 
Check the images below for the pretty shots – you can read the book on ISSUU (link at the bottom). Thanks for checking it out. Hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed working on it!
 
 
// THE PROCESS
 
This book contains painstaking amounts of detail. Over 400 hours went into recreating league member-submitted uniforms and logo sets for their teams. Once those were templated, I jersey-swapped all of the players into their respective "new" jerseys. Here's a look at that process:
 
 
// THE PRODUCT
 
At the end of the day, the final numbers are: 123 jerseys recreated, 39 jersey swaps, 72 stories written, 14 different kinds of cleats documented, and 205 pages of sheer college and fantasy football nirvana. Enjoy!
