Topic Post
Over the course of the next few months I will be creating various design projects based around a topic of my choice. I chose to base these projects around myself, and here’s why.
I am a student athlete, so my life isn’t one of a typical college student. Both semesters of school every year are filled with lifting, practicing, competing, and so much more that comes along with being a student athlete. Many students at universities don’t understand the lives of student athletes, and the dedication that goes into their everyday lives. I hope to show my readers the life of a student-athlete through my own lens.
Along with being a student-athlete, I am also a fashion merchandising major with minors in marketing and fashion media. I want to combine my love of fashion with my passion for sports, and hopefully work in athletic fashion one day. My projects will link these two topics to show how sports can be fashionable, and aesthetically pleasing just like other topics can be.
A few of the projects I will be completing this semester will be the graphic collage as well as the logo design. I plan for my designs for both projects to depict how fashion meets athletics in my everyday life. Fashion is beautiful art while athletics is difficult and grueling, so how could they possibly go hand in hand? I plan to show my readers how the two coincide in my life as well as others.
My graphic collage will depict how sports play a role in my life as well as fashion. I plan on showing photos of sports in their picturesque moments like team wins and beautiful moments in gymnastics especially. This will help flow with the other photos I will add of fashionable items like athleisure that coincides with sports.
My logo will show a meeting between sports and fashion in my own world. I will combine fashionable artistic elements to the logo while centering it around a sports moment. As a gymnast myself, I will most likely use a gymnastics action photo in the center and add fashionable elements around it. It will truly illustrate how the two separate worlds collide in my life, and how they go hand in hand.
The blogs I linked below are some blogs that inspired some of my ideas for this blog. I linked a blog, Athlete Network, that is purely about athletes at the collegiate level and all aspects of our lives. Sportsanista is a combination between sports and fashion which is the closest relation to what my blog will consist of. Athletikaty is another blog that combines athletic apparel with exercise which is very much the idea of my blog.
