Create A Custom Patch - And Potentially Win It!!

Although you may submit your project however you please, I have listed the steps and my project as an example. I look forward to seeing what you come up with!

MY PROJECT

Step 1: Your Favourite Reference Patches

I have put together my reference pins on a small pinterest board here.

Step 2: Your Favourite Apple Metal Patch

I'm not even a Star Wars fan really, but this is a pretty cool patch.

Step 3: Your Rough Sketches

Here are my initial rough sketches. For the Baseball Owl, I made that purely on the iPad Pro digitally, so I didn't have any preliminary sketches.

Step 4: Your Final Patch Design

My final vector patches. Using almost solely the Pen Tool, Shapes, and Pathfinder tools I was able to make these three patch designs with ease.

THEME IDEAS

I opted to not have a theme for this class. However, I know it can be difficult to come up with an idea for your project. So here are some ideas you could use.

Illustrate your favourite animal
Letter your favourite quote (must be simple since the pin is so small)
Draw a monogram of your initials
Illustrate a celebrity portrait
Illustrate a vehicle
