Field of Design

"I brought a different perspective. I wasn't that typical fan girl who knew everything and loved everything about the sport, it was almost from an actual design perspective that I designed, not from a football perspective, so that's what differentiates my style overall."Humble, Hungry & Smart. These are the three virtues identified in Patrick Lencioni's book The Ideal Team Player. The book's primary focus is on building a strong team of individuals who demonstrate the attributes; Humble, Hungry, Smart.During our conversation with Vittoria Anzelmi I couldn't help but return to the book's themes and consider how highly she performs with these virtues. Like a lot of of creative professionals, the proud Italian showed talent in early childhood with life size portraits in led pencil. Vittoria navigated school and creative tertiary education before working in print until the age of 27 where she was the first full time graphic designer at AFL club Carlton.After thriving through the growth of the social media boom for clubland and the launch of the AFL's Women's game, Carlton's Senior Designer found a new opportunity at A-League's Melbourne Victory and while the Pantone was the same (296c) there was a lot that was very different.We explore a lot during Vittoria's time at Melbourne Victory including some key design moments for the club. By 2024 restructures across the league meant a change of scenery where Vittoria has now landed a creative role with Tennis Australia. Still blue but at least not 296c.Visual GuideEpisode ArticleConsider our PatreonHumbleIt's being self confident but not arrogant. In our chat we talk about #SerifClub; the term contrived internally when Vittoria and the MVFC team began using serif fonts in their collateral and watched as other Australian clubs followed suit. And while setting the trend locally, doesn't take a step without crediting their own European inspirations. We also dive into how she took on Victory's uniform designs. Simplifying elements, introducing a pink strip and a kit without the clubs' iconic chevron. All to a commercial success.HungryThe inherent desire to learn and grow as a creative just oozes from Vittoria. There is no clearer sign of a relentless desire for more than to devote your own personal time and money to the cause.Personal trips to Europe mean investing some days to pop over and visit Macron, Hellas Verona, Genoa CFC, Juventus and Inter Milan. Connect with the teams, network, take a tour and watch the creatives in action. Or reaching out to MLS designers in the US and collaborating on some artwork to see how others work learning new ways to design and operate.SmartThe fine balance of getting the job done and connecting with people in the best way. Like when Vittoria identified that "the wrong people were in the room" when making important decisions that were effecting the brand and navigating her way through this, becoming a voice in that room to advocate her design opinions, getting them across the line.It's these qualities that have driven Vittoria to the personal and professional successes she has achieved to date and undoubtedly the passion will continue to reward in unexpected ways or places.While we dive into all the details above, we also cover the day to day duties of a club creative, the importance of mentors and networking. We explore where Vittoria's inspirations come from and the advice she passes onto those wanting to get into the industry. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

“The moments after the game; the celebrations, the tears, the raw emotion that you can tell a story of through a photo, is what I look for as a photographer. Those moments where you can show character and emotion… They're not just a footballer, they are a person.”You can find Gaby on Instagram @gabybarnscreativeConsider our PatreonCommunity Events EOIWith a camera in hand since the age of twelve, it wasn't long for Gold Coast local Gaby Barns to ignite her sports creative career by securing a school based traineeship with local NRL franchise Gold Coast Titans.

Gaby steps into the world of freelancing, unlocking new opportunities with Queensland Maroons, Supercars, SailGP and Tennis Australia; where she took a courtisde seat photographing the 2024 Australian Open Men's & Women's Finals.Gaby reflects on the learnings of moving into freelance work, the importance of networking and the value strong working relationships with industry contacts.We talk about the technicalities of photography and what different approaches are required for recording different styles of sports.There's life inside team Titans such as team bus rituals (don't sit in ‘that' seat), the moments after a win or loss and the rollercoaster ride of managing those results on socials.Gaby shares the advice she would give to her younger self and the advice to aspiring young creatives, who want to thrive in a world of sport that includes mainstream female representation.We talk prized projects and moments, the ones she wish she could do over, education vs experience and what the future might hold.

"There is always going to be people that don't like change and we experience that all in our lives all the time... but if you take those people on a journey with you and sell the brand to them in a way that can resonate with them, then they will forget about that pretty quickly ."Tara Campbell-Barry is the Creative and Brand Lead at NRL franchise, Gold Coast Titans.

With a true passion for the product, there was nothing stopping Shaun from making bold moves to progress his career.A young South Adelaidean fascinated with the designs of team uniforms, Shaun's young obsession manifested into a career that has taken him across the globe. Starting in design at a local sportswear manufacturer in Adelaide and taking opportunities where they presented, Shaun became increasingly frustrated that the "design department" was not valued in the industry and left himself looking outside that department to further his career.When an opportunity to move to China to work in factory kept presenting itself, Shaun finally took flight...In today's episode we talk about the earlier years of the sports creative industry and the lack of positive networking and community. The culture shock of moving to China, his role as a Product Operations Manager and what design departments look like in bigger organisations. Shaun shares some of his thoughts on good and bad apparel and the most important things to be doing in the sports creative industry.As always, we asked for recommendations on which creatives we should be following and Shaun didn't disappoint (with links to all Shaun's mentions on the episode 53 page on our website).Episode Visual GuideEpisode Source Articles & LinksPodcast Patreon Hosted on Acast.

Or the two decades recording this trainwreck of an episode. Not to mention one of those decades writing this blurb, hell bent on making this poor excuse for a gag work... Anyway, enjoy the show, or don't, it's not our best, we wouldn't hold it against you.Welcome to the Field of Design Podcast, for your news stories and nonsense from the sport apparel and sports creative industry.News and notable links:Herlequins Men's and Women's Away KitEpisode Topic:Simply the Best 90's Rugby League JerseysKit - 1 - 1998 Mason - 1 - 1996Kit - 2 - 1992Mason - 2 - 1990Mason - 3 - 1998 Kit - 3 - 1995Mason - 4 - 1991Kit - 4 - 1995Mason - 5 - 1991Kit - 5 - Late 90'sMailbagEmail us at fieldofdesignpodcast@gmail.com or via instagram @fieldofdesignpodcast.Allister Lovelock's Behance Profile Our GDPR privacy policy was updated on August 8, 2022.

“This jersey means more to me than anything else I have worked on. I still feel that way.”Welcome to the Field of Design Podcast, for your news stories and nonsense from the sport apparel and sports creative industry.It's not very often an NRL jersey makes international news. Not very often at all. As our returning listeners will know, our co-host Kit is the Head Designer at Dynasty Sport, the apparel partner for the Manly Sea-Eagles. Kit was part of a small group at Dynasty driving this project and in fact the artist who developed the first Pride Jersey in the NRL. When the jersey was revealed, 7 players from the squad refused to wear the jersey citing 'cultural and religious beliefs'. This caused a firestorm with the administration and playing group within Manly and ofcourse the media and NRL community, with opinons being thrown from media personnel everywhere including the very diverse* cast on the fox sport lineup. After allowing some time for the dust to settle (for now) Kit talks us through how the jersey came to be, what it meant to him and the rollercoster of thoughts and emotions he had in the days following the announcement.*notKit's views are of his own and not of his employers, coworkers or corporate partners of his employer, including the Manly Sea Eagles.We at Field of Design are unanimous in our support for challenging harmful social cultures against all who identify within the LGBTQIA+ community.
