__My Proposition__ Shirt Design: What I have planned for my shirt design is that I want it to look playful and inviting for all ages. When observing the shirt design that won in 2012 I noticed that it had something unique unlike the rest. It took up most of the shirt which made attracted me personally. With in this design I want to portray happiness as well as gratitude because this fundraiser is meant for individuals to have fun as well as raise money essentially. Also with in my design I definitely want to use playful colors that will reflect a bright summer day at the beach. The colors I will probably use will be orange and yellow, but this idea could change based off of what the final design actually looks like. The typography I will be using for this design will also look a little more playful. Meaning, I will stay away from sharp edged serifs because this is not a formal event--it is a playful one.

Button Design: For my button I realize that it is going to be extremely confined and has a couple requirements already as to what it needs in it. The goal I am trying to achieve with my button design is that it should portray the actual event and look just as playful as the shirt design, but less content should be displayed within the design. A simple design or logo with in the background would look nicely with the title of the event. Another idea I had would be to have a very simple button that said something along the lines, "I participated at Kiwanis" or something cheesy like that.

Kiwanis Inspiring Photos for making my Designs for the shirt as well as the button... This picture inspired me mostly for my because the beach is the primary focus of this event and observing the actual scenery will allow me to include small props within the design for the shirt. Maybe a small wave or even a surf board perhaps.



This picture inspired my idea for designing the button because the logo of two people canoeing looks really unique. In addition to that I thought the choice of rhythm for this poster was also well developed. The main idea I will probably use from this picture is the use of the water flowing and the format as to how it is laid out. The reason why this picture inspired me a lot is because these simple houses are the main attraction for Pewaukee in itself and it basically symbolizes what Pewaukee is. For that reason I might incorporate an outline or even a small unique design that flows into the T-shirt design. This picture inspires me for my idea for designing the button because I think it would be really cool to have a button that said, "I did Kiwanis River Run" or something cheesy along the lines of that. I makes people feel good about themselves when they get the "I voted sticker," so i figured a button with that same message would bring out a similar effect--happiness.
