365 Days of Creativity -Day 38

Here is the final result from the sketch that I was working on the last couple of days. I honestly had no direction, except that I wanted to create a simple face in Photoshop, instead of illustrator. I decided to work with shapes and I felt splatter could make for an interesting element in this illustration. Even though I used splatter in this design, I still feel as though the white background still makes this image clean, because it's very clear. The focal point was obviously the face, but I think the diamond in the background and the glimpse of the circle adds a nice a touch. If I even wanted to put this on a t-shirt it is already separated.

SNOWBOARD GRAPHIC DESIGN CONTEST

That's right ladies & gentlemen, there's a new contest out there brought to you by the good people of Forsnowboarding and Grafik Armor. I hope you're ready to get your design on, because no matter what it's still winter. Spring may be coming around the corner, but until then you may want to create some kick ass snowboard graphics.

Here is info from the Forsnowboarding regarding this contest:
"Forsnowboarding and Grafik Armor are proud to announce their first collaborative project together: Snowboard Graphic Design Contest. Beginning February 15th, 2010, we invite all snowboarders and designers to create their best original snowboard topsheet graphics using our supplied templates and submit them to our official gallery to be judged by a panel of artists, designers and industry professionals. Guest judge for this competition is none other than Mike Orduña AKA Fatoe.

Grand prize is a custom one-of-a-kind Grafik Armor Snowboard Decal Wrap with the winners graphic. Second place gets a Grafik Armor Snowboard Decal of their choice from Grafik Armors current line-up."

As you may already know I featured Fatoe as one of my inspiration posts(Visit blogpost here) It's definitely cool to have a judge who has experience creating some awesome graphics. Good luck everyone.
