When Time Based Arts asked me to get involved with their latest gig for Nike & Footlocker I jumped at the chance. This time around I was asked to create a series of spy graphics for screen replacement behind the scenes at “KDI” headquarters.

Kevin Durant Investigates is a playful homage to the spy ‘Big Brother’ genre. However the twist being that the NBA’s leading scorer for the last few years has been keeping an eye us average guys & gals. With a sophisticated system of data analysis and tracking technology KD and his Footlocker assistants would assess whether subjects were ready or not ready to receive a reward of one of the KDI trainer range.

My task for this project was to work in close congestion with Luke Todd from TBA to create these analysis and tech visuals. Creating a series of tracking screens and pseudo GUI’s.
