fifth round: sneaker design


abbey suggested the theme for this round.


alright, so you need to design a custom shoe. i'm not going to put much limit on this. you can do pretty much whatever theme on the shoe you want. you can pick the shoe you want the design on. everything is just up to you, make something you like.

finding templates and stuff is mostly up to you. i'm going to link to some templates below at pigmag.com. if you're wanting to do just a standard air force 1 shoe or dunk then that's probably the place to get a template. you can download it in a photoshop file and it already has each section of the shoe split into layers. if you wanna design a shoe that isn't on there (converse, vans, whatever), then that's up to you to find an image to design on.

here's a video that has a bunch of different shoe designs. maybe it will give you some ideas. you can just google custom sneakers and research on your own. pretty much anything in the world you can base a custom sneaker design off of. bands, sports teams, artists, movies, books, cities, i mean just whatever. anything can be your inspiration for color schemes and stuff like that.

also i'm going to link a couple youtube tutorials. there's a ton of youtube videos, i didn't wanna go through them all to see which were the best. watching some video tutorials might be a good way to get started though and get a basic idea for what you're doing.
