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.

This concept was thought of because I wanted to show that the San Francisco Embarcadero was one of the starting places of Skateboarding. That it was and still is called the Mecca of Skateboarding. To show the Embarcadero with the famous Brick Pattern.

Concept: Stages of Life Through a Phoenix

My name is Luis and my concept is stages through life. My message is that everyone is at different stages of life and I want to protray this through the life of a Phoenix. I decided to use a Phonix because the life of a Phoenix is eternal so are our lives. Another way this can be interpreted is that when we fall we just rise from our ahes and start anew.

concept:Tribute to graffiti

My name is Josh and my concept is mostly a tribute to graffiti. I wanted to show graffiti more than just being a taboo that certain people do. If you research real good you'll notice that different ethnicities practice graffiti and its just more than a vandalism but its real art. I chose a robot from the tv show"Invader Zim" but gave it my own twist. The  robot shows that even in future generations(which its said that robots will take over the world)graffiti will still be practiced.
