SneekPeek - Digi Sketches

Take a quick peek at a few screenshots of the digi sketches that have evolved so far. Scroll back into the ARCHIVES to get an introduction to the design concept directly from the designer. The class will be polishing these designs up shortly. We lost a few contributors due to other school and SAT testing obligations. Enjoy the snipits below:









Photos from class so far




















I finally had a chance to download some digi pics I've taken of the class so far. Here's a sample of what you guys look like when you are working sooo hard :)

I chose this design for FTC because I think that skaters love for skating is deeper than it appears to be. Therefore, the skate board is wrapped around the heart. The heart ventricles are blue as well as the veins and the heart is red. 

summer madness

"Summer Madness" was inspired by the song composed by Kool and The Gang. I liked the concept because it connects with music and makes you feel good. If you know the song, you'll probably connect with the meaning more.
I also like the idea because summer time is coming up, and everybody loves the summer.
& I had to put SFTC* in it because I have to incorporate my other inspirations, such as this beautiful city, and the company FTC.
I want to get the writing down better, get the patterns tighter and really make it look clean.


Thanks Stephanie and Graham



Self Destrucion


I'm Matthew and my T-Shirt design is based on the idea that our actions as humans will eventually backfire and cause the destructive downfall of the human race and the world. In the final version of the t-shirt I plan to fill the gun through the use of font with various environmental and economical issues which we face in our daily lives.

challenges and successes

my challenge was that I wasn't focusing on my topic. I would get off topic. But my success was that I went crazy in 415. I have an idea of how I am going to show how 415 in unique.
