Vans Custom Culture

Today we are going to explore our first design 'job' for your graphic design company.  The shoe company VANS has a nationwide contest to design a shoe around a theme.  Today, you will look over the website and look at examples of previous designs.

• Find and save an image of an excellent design to your graphic design folder.
• Download the shoe templates to your computer.
• What theme would you like to design? On the shoe template provided, write down which theme you'd like to design your show around and brainstorm some ideas.  You may start a sketch on the shoe template provided.

Unfortunately, the school only has a total of 8 shoes to work with.  Your design company will be in competition to secure a 'shoe' for the Vans contest and execute the design in paint or marker before the April deadline.  This is an challenge, but also an opportunity for every designer to create an example for their company's portfolio.
