Bowling Team Shirt

Professional

Apparel Graphic Design

Project type: Professional
My role: Graphic designer
Deliverables: Apparel illustration

This project involved creating a bowling shirt design for a team sponsored by Willamette Valley Vineyards. The goal was to combine bowling imagery with a wine-themed concept in a way that felt playful, bold, and visually engaging.

The final design features a bowling ball striking a set of wine bottles arranged like pins, merging both identities into a single, cohesive illustration. Bright color, clear shapes, and strong contrast were used to ensure the graphic stood out on apparel and remained readable from a distance. This piece highlights illustrative concept development and the ability to create eye-catching designs tailored for print and wear.

Previous Iterations

First Iteration — My first draft. They liked the design but asked for the bottles to more closely resemble the bottles sold by the vineyard.

Second Iteration — The second option. This was almost exactly what they wanted, they just asked me to remove the effect on the bottle that was popping.

Let’s connect.
