Here is the sketch for the one I would be submitting. My design featured a Hornet that wrapped around the side of the shirt. It would be flying into the front of it with the words Broome Community College trailing behind it.
 This is the finished back of the shirt.
 This is the finished front.


 My design actually ended up being selected to be printed in the school store. One catch was that they wanted myself and another student, my friends Brittany, to collaborate our ideas. They liked the wrap idea that my design had and they slashing lines and typography that hers had. So we went back to the sketchbooks to bring our designs together.
 This is just a sketch of the Hornet.

 
Some more sketches of what the back of the shirt looks like. I was doing the back of the shirt design while Brittany did the front.
This is the design that was printed when we were done for the back.
This is just a sketch of what the idea of the front would look like.

Unfortunately in the end our design was not printed it was founded to be to expensive in the end. However, its still a great achievement and a good design and I fully intend to take it to a local print shop and have them make the tee.



The next project was to design a tee shirt for our school. This was a very interesting one so many options. Our mascot is a hornet so many went with that. There was the option to use the original or recreate it to a new style. I ended up doing a bit of both. The pictures above are the sketches. I started out trying to come up with unique Hornets. Then the started playing with the type and how that would read on the shirt. One of my sketches is more of a feminine shirt. However this project had to appeal to everyone but I liked the sketch.
This is the final print for the book cover. I scanned in the final sketch to use as a template. I created everything using the tools found in photoshop. I was very pleased with the way it turned out being that it was the first time I used the program.
This is a final sketch to my first graphic project. The assignment was to re create the course book cover. We were to research the book reading and skimming through it to give us ideas. The design I went with shows some of the basic concepts and themes a beginning graphic designer would use. For example, shape, repetition, line, etc.
