Who are you? Please tell us a little bit about yourself. 

My name is Luc Sauer, I'm a 27-year-old living in the Netherlands. I work as a graphic designer, where people on the internet, most notably on Twitter, know me as DailyRender.

Three years ago, I used my Twitter account to share my (daily) football designs and player renders with the world. Soon after, I started creating FIFA Ultimate Team™ designs and custom items that a lot of YouTubers and other people liked. From that, I started to grow on Twitter and got to work with more YouTubers from the FIFA community. In addition to the YouTube work,

I also love to work on other designs like branding and concept designs. I was truly honoured with this opportunity to create these kits for FIFA 17!

How long have you been playing FIFA? 

I’ve been playing FIFA for a long time. My first FIFA I played was... I think it was FIFA 96; played many years on PC and made a switch to console with FIFA 2004.

What is your fondest EA SPORTS FIFA memory?  

I think my fondest memory is FIFA 06 Road to World Cup. Switching that time from current-gen to next-gen Xbox 360 was impressive. I instantly bought an Xbox 360 with FIFA. Of course, not to forget with Ultimate Team™ been added to the game, I’ve spent many hours on my console playing the beautiful game.

What is your favourite club and/or player?

My favourite club is Ajax. Favourite player is Iniesta. I love the technical and attacking play of football. A lot of times I enjoy a magical assist or pass more than the goal itself.

What is the inspiration behind your FIFA 17 Ultimate Team™ kit design(s)?

The EA SPORTS FIFA team gave me some requirements that I needed to add onto the kits, such as a theme and colours. With that I did some research on the themes and made some sketches.

On the FUT Champions kits I wanted to have a classic look with a vertical stripe. For another kit I wanted something retro with an eighties look; with the bright colours it had to be something wild with some crazy shapes on it.

What is your favourite aspect/element of your kit design(s)?

I love details and the little things that complete a design, or a design that is a little different from other designs. So, for example, I really like the little crowns I added on the FUT Champions kit. I also love the retro design with some of the other kits, as well as the colours and shapes I used for them.

Where can people see more of your work? 

I’m still busy working on my own website, but I have an online portfolio on Bechance (behance.net/dailyrender) where I regularly post my work. Of course I also post my work on my Twitter (@DailyRender).
