One of my co-workers at West Noble Primary ran the Boston Marathon this year. She had already finished the race and was out of the way when the explosions happened. But she and another teacher wanted to raise some funds to help some of the runners and onlookers that weren’t so fortunate.

They asked if I would help them make a T-shirt design and so I did. Below are two of the final designs and the actual shirt. I can’ t take credit for the idea but I helped them get their idea onto paper using Illustrator. I even used the perspective grid more than I ever have before.

 

Kids could bring in coins to donate and they all walked together today during recess. Quite a few staff members bought shirts and wore them today. I’m glad I could be a part of it.

Here’s a rough draft that I liked. Probably because it reminds me of FRINGE!
