My Design is The word Mecca With the Embarcadero Bricks in the actual lettering. That it tells how the San Francisco Embarcadero was famous for the Skating and Skate legends that used as one of the Starting places in the West Coast. I have taken pictures of the bricks.

Here is my design

Here it is. It's not much but now I need to add windows and people in the windows on the ramps, also at the bottom right it looks kind of empty I want to put fisherman's wharf there but I don't know how if someone can help with that would be great. I hope to see all of you Saturday.

My shirt design

I have actually almost finished my sketch of the shirt I just need put a little more detail, and I got my design done. The design is the city of San Francisco as a skate park, for the colors I would like for the shirt is very simple. I would want the design on silk-screened as an old picture like it was a picture taken a long time ago. Symbolizing that San Francisco was meant to be a fun skate park. So in simple words in black and white. Also on the t-shirt I would want on the back a big FTC logo made up of the names of important people in FTC and also the names of our t-shirt group.

What I feel about this class!

I think it is a great experience I'm having loads of fun. I like that people can help each other out with things and get help when needed. Also having such a great teacher helps us out and just be happy and kind it's nice to go to the program to express our idea and just have fun.

This week was kinda hard for me. thinking of symbolism for my drawings were hard. Today, though, it came to me. I am sticking with he idea of phases of life but in a different way. Throughout the week i have been talking more with a girl i like, and i remembered that her favorite mythological creature is the Phoenix. I took the idea of how the phoenix dies and then is reborn from its own ashes. To me this has a greater symbolism than my puny acorn to an oak tree. This design can symbolize that even after the times in our life which we suffer we can still grow anew with more experience. Another way it can be interpreted is that life still goes on, when someone dies, someone else is born.
