I just completed a fun project and thought I would share the process here. MY client was tasked with creating a tshirt for an Association – The North Carolina Basketweavers Association – which is having their convention in Wilmington in November, but wanted to get started early. They provided a rudimentary mock up of what they wanted (on the left) and the final product (right):
My client had me create several other layouts (see below) to give them a choice.  In order to create the weave patterns in the surfboard, sails and ocean (in layouts below), I purchased a vector weave image which included 4 different weave patterns.  I took each weave, resized, recolored, and placed them in the sails, ocean and surfboard using a power clip effect (placing one image into a predefined, closed line object). The customer also wanted weave tails trailing from the surfboard imitating a basket weave project still in process.  The convention members number approximately 900, so it should be a nice size job for my client.  Her client, the NCBA, was very pleased with the final product!

Other layouts my client had me create for her customer:

Tru Vision Wiper Technology

This is a one page flyer I created after first creating a 6 ft. banner from the same artwork. It was no easy task converting the windshield wiper diagram into a vector piece of artwork to insert into my project, but got her done!

Turtles Basking in Sun

This is one of my favorite photographs.  It was taken at Durant Nature Park in Raleigh and shows the social community of the turtles all vying for space on the logs.  Note the heads bobbing in the water waiting their turn to bask in the sun. Click to enlarge.
