In 2015 Giro Sport Design launched a line of small batch
limited edition products under the name Giro Special Reserve. The new program
set out to drive innovation at the company by allowing ideas that didn't fit
into a current market strategy to be fully explored. The Giro Special Reserve
initiative would launch new products that could potentially create the markets
of the future.
I was given the exciting opportunity to design the entire look and feel of the program, from the initial whiteboard sketches to the final executions in stores and on digital platforms.

The branding was centered around a simple scalable logo that
could live in tiny spaces on product trims, but was unique enough to visually carry
a store window campaign. In the smallest sizes I used a silhouette of the logo
as a visual shortcut for the brand. For the Art direction I relied on engaging desaturated
photos, and soft warm backgrounds that would let the products live at the top
of the visual hierarchy.
In the spring of 2015 the program was launched with full size book introducing Giro Special Reserve to the world.
