All Work, All Play: Sun & Ski Sale Poster

Sun & Ski Sports. All the gear, apparel, and toys you need to make your next outdoor adventure epic can be found at any of their locations, sprinkled along the Eastern seaboard, throughout the Sun Belt, and in parts of the Midwest. For many, skiing is a serious business, and the brief glimpses of winter – we’re thinking about our fellow Houstonians when we say this – get them in the mood for a new pair of orange Nordica boots that can be seen from space, or a down coat perfectly contoured to their frame with compartments galore. Snowboarding is also a way of life with its own breed of connoisseurs bent on being the center of attention in the air and on the ground. We forgive their mischievous irreverence because they look really good while doing it.

When client Sun & Ski first approached us with their ideas for a winter sale campaign, we were more than willing play. After all, the ability to play is to be cherished, whether you’re still in grammar school or languishing in the work force. The winter holidays present us with a particular kind of playtime. For an instant, we can be weightless. And with the earth shining white below us and the cold wind kissing our faces, we have two decisions to make: 1) tighten our form, brace ourselves for the rush, land gracefully, or 2) bust a move, land dramatically, fist pump. Either approach is acceptable. You’re either naughty or you’re nice.
