Winter Park, FL (PRWEB) April 30, 2009 -- The Orlando Magic (www.orlandomagic.com) and Full Sail University (www.fullsail.edu) announced the winning teams of a re-branding design contest exclusive to Full Sail students, to develop a new and creative graphics package to be featured at the games throughout the season. Two teams of students were selected for their motion graphics work, which was unveiled last week during the NBA playoffs at the Amway Arena.
The Orlando Magic accepted proposals from Full Sail University student teams representing degree programs including: Digital Arts & Design, Computer Animation, Graphic Design, and Entertainment Business. Students competed to create the text and graphics for the offense and defense, as well as general noise prompts, to play on the Jumbotron to energize fans at the Orlando Magic home games.
The winning teams are comprised of six students including: Dustin Bankord, Juan Colon, Tyler Joynt, Ron Monahan, Jose Ramirez and Jared Sanders. "Each student that entered the contest was able to further their academic reach with real world experience in the industry - this time working with a national brand," said Pete Bandstra, Program Director of Computer Animation and Game Art. "The partnership they have created with the Orlando Magic has added significant professional credits for their portfolios before graduation."
Bill Galbreath, Program Director of Arts and Design, further added, "We are extremely proud of both teams and the great work they put together for the Orlando Magic. It was an incredible opportunity for our students to showcase their skills and talent in support of our home team."
