Shoe Contest Design Project

Process

for this project, the themes of where you live are supposed to be recognizable in your shoe design; therefore, I decided to go with my own twist on a sun or sunset. I decided to work with the mixed medium of prisma (metallic) colored pencils, as well as sharpie markers. I wanted to make a more stylized, uncommon sun design, so I went with a swirl as the middle, and tapered the beams loosely and curling around the shoe. I also used stripes, which accented the stylized sun as well. I used contrasting warm and cool colors to really make the design pop to the viewer.

Judgment

I really enjoy the rareness of my sun design, due to the overdone, usual sun design that the majority of others decided to go with. The contrast of the warm colors with the cool ones really makes each part of the shoe pop. I also appreciate the metallic accents I decided to use for the shoe; it brings out a cool look against the rest of the shoe.
