Nike's Chief of Design Doodles All Day - Response

The New York Times' article had talked about how Nike's Chief of Design, John Hoke had become who he is today. From the older days where he ran as an athlete, he would cut his shoes in half just to see how it was all made. With the ideas that would flow, Hoke would sketch out his ideas on what should be included in Nike shoes and he then sends them off to the Nike company. He soon got a job opportunity for the company and leads over thousands of creative designers for the company. I thought it was an interesting read to say the least. In my opinion, being technical savvy with the shoes you wear for a company you love is very fascinating to say the least.

After looking into his past works, I found Stanton's job as a poster artist to be incredibly stunning. Looking deep into his poster for The Master, it makes you think that the lore of the story is deep. If I were to give a game or story a promotional cover on that scale, I'd do so in a heartbeat.
