As immersed as my daughter is in studying electronic arts, fine art, and science, she considers herself a part-time graphic designer. She mentors underclassmen in digital imaging, but to earn credit for the work, the duty’s rolled into an intense independent study. This time around, she focused that study on tile patterns. Spinning out of that study: the commercial application of such patterns.
Which led her to Zazzle.com where she’s applied some of her patterns to Keds sneakers — isn’t that cool? Her newly-launched store is in its infancy and its two sneaker designs are also accompanied by a couple of t-shirt designs unrelated to her tile project. But you can see why I’m a proud mother.
I’m not sure how she struck on the green apples design, but I suspect the sheep design was inspired by a recent visit to a sheep and wool show, knitting fiend that she is. More designs will follow.
I know the economy sucks and these items aren’t cheap, but they would make unique gifts for the holiday season. And my daughter earns some pocket money with every sale. Here’s the link; pass it on!
