Over the past three years I have had the pleasure to design the t-shirts for the Frederick, Maryland, YMCA Doubles Racquetball Tournament. This year, I was asked to put the sponsors face on a racquetball and incorporate it into the design. I was skeptical at first, not knowing how the sponsor would react, but after seeing the images he took posing for the camera, I was quickly put at ease.
When I started the project, I wasn't quite sure how I would execute the design. I have such a wide range of styles I use when doing illustrative design. After some time and considerate thinking, I came to the conclusion of reflecting back on a colleague and friend of mine by the name of Von Glitschka, and his recognizable style. I didn't want to copy his style as much as I wanted to capture the essence of his process and execution. As you can see below, the results came out nicely. The client was pleased, and another YMCA Racquetball tournament gets their design.
The t-shirts are screen printed with 3 colors (black, white, and light blue) on a gold short sleeved shirt.
Here are the past designs:
