VANS Shoe Design
For the VANS shoe design assignment, we were to take four different VANS shoe templates and create designs for these new shoes based on one of four categories: Local flavor, Music, Art and Action Sports. We were given the choice of choosing any of the categories and any of the four styles of VANS shoes for our design and other than that, it was pretty open ended. I chose the most simple shoe design with the most blank space to work with. I had a hard time coming up with an idea for my shoe design, so I went through several scribbled out designs before I finally started creating this one. My inspiration mostly came from a stencil. I don't have natural free-hand drawing talent, so I decided to see if there were any stencils I liked. I started by drawing the little firework starburst thing by the heel and just kind of went from there.
