talking to the client

rildo, the president of husky badminton club, reached out with a request for a cartoon drawing of a husky that incorporated badminton elements like a racket and shuttlecock. i was given examples from previous years, which i used as inspiration while making sure not to repeat any past designs.

sketching & client feedback

i began sketching concepts in procreate, exploring different poses for the husky to add variation and personality todthe design. i sent my sketches to rildo, and he chose the designs where the husky is directly interacting with badminton equipment.

Digitizing the Sketches

I vectorized these sketches into Adobe Illustrator and finalized the text placement. I created two layout options: one with a top-to-bottom composition and another with a circular composition. The top-to-bottom version read more naturally, but I felt the circular layout would sit better on a t-shirt and feel more balanced overall. I sent the circular version to Rildo for review, and he approved the final design.

While vectorizing the back side design in Adobe Illustrator, I adjusted the husky’s anatomy to improve accuracy and
proportions to make it look more polished. Rildo approved of the back side design then sent me the sponsorship logos to
add to the design.

the outcome

rildo and i decided to print the final design on a black, athletic t-shirt, making it easily approachable and wearable for all participants. club members and husky open 2025 participants responded enthusiastically to the design. its playful, energetic style resonated with players, and it quickly became a favorite. to this day, many athletes continue to wear the shirt to practices and tournaments, demonstrating its lasting appeal and the sense of community it helped foster.
