Crappy to Snappy

This is the Girl's Varsity Lacrosse jersey, it is the crappy part of my "Crappy to Snappy" project. I believe this uniform is crappy because it is so general and does not make my team stand out from others. Also, it has no unique features that would separate us from Melbourne High uniform other than Viera on the front. Along with making this uniform stand out, I am going to add key features that actually show that we are a lacrosse team! This project should be pretty easy, except for when I try to figure out what colors to use. I can't wait to have a finished product.
This is the snappy version! I think it speaks for itself, it is much more interesting and appealing to the eye. The black going throughout the trim and numbers is supposed to be like the strings in the head of our lacrosse sticks. The black skirt makes this uniform look chic and intimidating at the same time! I had difficulty hard making a lacrosse stick with all its strings for the pattern in the numbers and trim as well as the actually lacrosse sticks on the uniform. I love my end result.

3D Map

This past couple weeks we have been working on creating a map with perspective and 3D buildings in illustrator. This took me quite a long time but I am very pleased with the outcome! The hardest part was the buildings themselves. It was had to figure out how to make the buildings to look 3D when all you had was 2D shapes. Illustrator always gives me a new challenge.
