As a designer I've worked on a lot of projects I wouldn't normally think to go looking for. It just happens that way. I'm not complaining; every time that happens, I get a new gig and I get to do something I haven't done before. There's nothing I can't stand more than having to do the same thing over and over again. There was a while there when I didn't want to even look at another website.
I was recently hired by a Catholic school to design their new Track and Field shirts. Something I would never have thought of, but kinda fun. After staring at hundreds of Track and Field pictures, I suddenly got a bug to be more physical. Those people are amazing. I never really thought about it, because I've never been much of a sports person, but they're pretty amazing. Looking at pictures of people pole vaulting and hurdling is just sick. They have such control! The most I ever got into sports was Kung Fu and Tennis, and not really with the whole Tennis thing.
Now my arms and stomach are sore as hell. I've been doing push ups every day. Push ups! I don't know when the last time was that I actually did a push up, and not one of those pansy ass girly knee push ups either. Real push ups. I'm also doing those wacky Canadian Air force leg twisty sit ups. They're mean, but they're so good. I forgot how good this felt. I'm also running with the dogs here and there.
So these are the shirts that inspired me to get off my ass. I created these in Inkscape. (I've asked to get one of the shirts too. ) :)
