When you least expect it, an opportunity will soon appear. As time passes I believe there's always a door waiting for you to open it. With the success in my designing abilities I was asked a week ago if I could make a possible design for the swim team jacket! It was a great opportunity. It took me a while to brainstorm. I had recently done the baseball calendar, but that sport was easy to add accessories to the mascot. The hornet is our school mascot and I incorporated a bat and a baseball ball, but swimming it just seemed more challenging. So I began by brainstorming what things related to water and the first thing that came to my mind were waves, and goggles, and towels and swimsuits. But the thing was how to transform it in a cool design? I spent hours looking at pictures. The essential piece to this situation was to grab a paper and a pencil and hopefully ideas would start flowing, and just like that images began to appear. I was reminded of that day we spent with Randy from High Tech High were we learned about prototyping and not just staying with the first idea that comes to your mind. It was all a process that lead to this creation --------------------> I was just about to send it to my friend when I decided to select the logo of the wave and it suddenly turned into a selection of colors due to the different layers. The color design wasn't even planned but accidents may lead to innovative inventions. Sometimes the unexpected turns out to be cool. My friend was really amazed and excited with the design I had developed but he had to share it with the rest of the team members. It is not a definite decision that they will use my design or even my logo. Even though it would be exciting to see my logo on the jacket maybe they decide to choose another design. But the most rewarding part of all is that I was given the chance to create a design and I took the challenge. However the most important thing is that I feel proud of my creation.
