FW25

The Oakley x Fortnite FW25 collection was conceptualized to merge Oakley’s high-performance eyewear heritage with the atmospheric, storm-driven universe of Fortnite. The project set out to create a unified campaign graphic system for the co-branded drop, bridging gaming culture with real-world product storytelling.


Developing the project under an ultra-tight production sprint required an agile, high-precision visual approach. I oversaw the campaign’s graphic extension, key visual lockups, product highlight compositions, and storm-themed visual treatments, establishing an impactful digital identity deployed directly across Oakley’s global e-commerce channels.

Initial Direction

The first round of key visuals explored warmer, sunset-toned skies and tight product close-ups, introducing the campaign line "When the Storm closes, at least you'll see it coming." These early frames shaped the tone of the campaign but were not carried into the final rollout.

Final Campaign

For the final rollout, every frame was standardized on a single purple storm backdrop with lightning, echoing the Fortnite storm. This gave the Frogskins S, Frogskins Hybrid, BXTR and Latch Panel one consistent system across key visuals, product crops and the talent photography.
