Sectionals Shirt Design

I was asked by the Shirt Shack to design a shirt for the West Noble girls basketball team to wear during the current sectional tournament.  They were looking for a two color design.  I had complete freedom of design but not a lot of time to do it.  I came up with three options using Adobe Illustrator.

The design that they liked also happened to be the one that I liked best.  Pretty simple concept.  I tried a bunch of different strokes and line options for the basketball.  The font is Edo SZ found at dafont.com.  It looks even better as a shirt.  The Lady Chargers had a bye in the first round and beat Wawasee to reach the sectional finals.  Good luck tonight girls!

Cross Country Shirt Designs: 2010

Now that the cross country season is wrapping up it’s time to reflect…  on the shirt designs.  I put together a few designs for the West Noble Middle School team as well as the West Noble Invitational.  Here you can see the finished designs in shirt form:

The WNMS team shirt design was one of a few different ideas.  I downloaded a font called “electric feel” from dafont.com and it made for an interesting design when it was placed on top of the big WN.  Done in Illustrator CS4.

I created a few different ideas for the Invite design.  The arrow design was the one that the Shirt Shack liked best.  I’ve been working with them to create some of their other shirt designs as well.  The meet took place on September 18th.  West Noble did well, probably due to their fantastic team shirts… Adobe Illustrator CS4.

New Site Design Released

Unless you are reading this blog’s feed you probably have noticed that the blog and the rest of ArtByFuzzy.com has been redesigned.  I decided to go with an a fluid layout and monochromatic color scheme with big, bold text.  I decided that the main purpose of my site is to show off my artwork.  Therefore, the images should be the part of the page that stands out and the text should be secondary but easy to read.

I created a child theme for the WordPress theme framework called Thematic.  Eventually I hope to clean up the child theme, which I call Basic Gray and release it to the public.  Its pretty simple and I’m sure it will improve over time but it accomplishes what I need right now.

After creating a WordPress theme for the blog I just transferred most of CSS code to a new style sheet to use for the static pages of the site.  I also broke the site into subdomains based on medium.  So now my ceramic work will be found at www.clay.artbyfuzzy.com.

I know there will be some bugs to work out and I’m working on filling in some more content.  Eventually there will be a full gallery and all the links will work like they’re supposed to.  If you have any constructive criticism or questions let me know.

Site Redesign Preview

For the past couple days I’ve been working on a new design for the site. So far I’ve got the blog about 80% the way I want it. Here’s a quick preview:

site redesign - gray

New gray theme

Check again in a week or so and you should see some more progress.

In related news, the whole month of July has slipped by without so much as a peep from the blog… Don’t worry, I’ve been stockpiling news stories.  Hopefully they will be released before I have to go back to school!

Shirt Designs: Track & Field 2010

The 2010 WN Middle School track team had an amazing season finishing 9-0 in dual meets, champions of the Westview Invitational, and….. LLC Conference Champions!!!!  I would like to think it was all because of the shirt design….  Or maybe it was the fantastic coaching staff?  Okay, in reality we had a really great group of 8th grade athletes to lead the way to an undefeated season.

Here is an early shirt design which was created in Adobe Illustrator CS4:

The boys voted for yellow team shirts but the design looks even better on gray.
