  • WHY BRANDING CAN INCREASE a PROFESSIONAL ATHLETE's VALUE: a RATIONALE for DESIGNER ENGAGEMENT a Thesis Presented in Partial Fu
    WHY BRANDING CAN INCREASE A PROFESSIONAL ATHLETE’S VALUE: A RATIONALE FOR DESIGNER ENGAGEMENT A Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Fine Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Brandan Craft ***** The Ohio State University 2008 Master’s Examination Committee: Approved by Professor R. Brian Stone, Advisor Dr. Noel Mayo Advisor Peter Chan, PhD Graduate Program in Industrial, Interior, and Visual Communication Design Copyright by Brandan Craft 2008 ABSTRACT Brands allow consumers to make choices.

The decision to invest in the brand, whether it is to watch a game on television, buy tickets to the game, or purchase a player’s jersey after the game, rests on this perception.
