Overview
After a successful previous year, I was asked to again design the merchandise for the Spring Reign youth ultimate tournament.
My Role: Freelance Graphic Designer
My Tools: Adobe Illustrator, Javascript
Inspiration
This year the tournament director wanted to use the orca as the animal for the merchandise. Given the habitat of the orca, I coupled it with water droplets and water color texture, both of which allude to the rainy stereotype of the PNW.
Design Process
To produce the raindrops, I used a simple coding script. This script would randomly generate circles, with a random number of concentric circles, a random line weight, and randomly place them around an artboard. This let me capture the randomness of raindrops authentically.
