The Manning Legacy Collection
After a really fun, informative, and intimate Zoom call with Peyton and Eli, and absorbing their personal voice recordings and photos that they both shared with me, including moments, memories, and reflections on growing up together, I had my notes and references ready. I had a short time to conceive and execute 4, one of a kind illustrations to become NFTs, in a way that adhered to the directive, and checked all the boxes of the special assignment.
I wanted to honor the whole Manning family: Archie, the mother Olivia, Peyton, Eli, and the older brother Cooper.
Here are the words that I played with, that became the concepts, content, typefaces, and titles:
One Giant Lead for Manning Kind
Stan By Your Manning Brothers First Round Draft Pick
Payton aka PeyT(ennessee)
Eli aka Mississipp(Eli)
