I should probably tweet more

Pretty cool to see the GOAT @LewisHamilton, holding a trading card I designed of Ayrton Senna at the Fanatics store opening today in London 😎

My 2 favourite F1 drivers in one picture is pretty special!

Returned to X to post my own awful Photoshop and potentially some debate.

(It’s Schumacher, Fangio, Hamilton, Senna in the graphic btw)

Lewis Hamilton, officially in Ferrari red. 🔴🏎️

A huge moment in F1 history and an exciting shift visually too—after years designing him in silver, it’s gonna be fun exploring a whole new era in red!

Made a more ‘reactive’ post after news about Sergio Perez leaving yesterday & then promptly forgot to post it 🫠

A bit more experimental and a bit more ‘out there’, compared to my usual posts….

…because you can’t get any better by staying in your comfort zone!

Hopefully these ‘shortcuts’ help you build a successful career in design. Let me know if this was helpful. I might do more posts like this 🙌🏾

P.S. Below is the design task that got me my first job in sport (2017). 4 years later I joined Red Bull in time for 3 Championships!

Here’s the shortcuts I used in my career, to work for sports brands like @ManUtd , @F1 & Red Bull Racing without a design degree 👇🏾 

A thread 🧵

✉️ Post, post, post.

Your work can't go viral sitting on your hard drive. Gain notoriety.

Build a reputation.

You don’t need the whole world to notice—just the right people.

@vincenzolandino Much love dude. Hope all is well your side of the pond too 🫶🏾

[JP1Design on Bluesky @jp1_design]

lmao as someone who had a ringside seat to most of this thread, it's so factually innacurate.
'Dying sport' though is my favourite bit 😂

[Business Nerd @Business_Nerd_]

In 2017, Formula 1 was a ‘dying sport.’

Aging fans, no digital presence, and no future.

But Netflix changed everything.

5 years later: 50 million new fans, TikTok dominance, and the fastest-growing sport globally.

Here’s the marketing masterclass behind the comeback:

@vincenzolandino Hahaha always mate!

[JP1Design on Bluesky @jp1_design]

@FrazDav Yeah I mean the decline (but not ‘dying’) is clearly undisputed, but I’d argue rugby/cricket are probably more in that definition than F1 was. But hey maybe I’m just being pedantic. It always felt that the sport was a sleeping giant that needed dragging into the 21st century

[JP1Design on Bluesky @jp1_design]

@FrazDav Gonna asterisk myself and say it was *one of* the first big sports to come back. Not 100%, but either way we sucked in a huge audience because there was little competition for attention at that time

[JP1Design on Bluesky @jp1_design]

@FrazDav Netflix is a massive factor, but so too is being the first sport to return during COVID, so it’s a combo between the two I’d say and that’s how we viewed it internally at the time
