Live Brief- Leeds Roller Dolls

Jude emailed me and said the Dolls were impressed with my portfolio and would like me to produce a series of Illustrations for them, to use on flyers and in the program for their next game.

The Roller Dolls are a local roller derby team. I'm not too clued up on how exactly the sport works, but I know it involves women, skates, knee pads and physical violence to some degree. Awesome! It's a sport that originated in America and is a big craze over there. Here's a video I found on youtube.com:


It gives me a little bit more of an insight of what the Dolls do. Looks pretty fun.

All I am aware of as of yet is that they are considering using a vegas/casino theme, and that the brief is quite flexible e.g. they would like me to have a fair bit of input. Jude, the Roller Doll in charge of design and promotions, suggested it would be useful for me to make an appearance at one of their practices so I can get a feel for what it is they actually do and meet a few of them. I am planning on going next Sunday, also with the intention of hopefully eventually joining at some point.
