This was a quick idea I had for the L3SS challenge. It's not minimal in the make basic shapes kind of way but more in the try to convey the idea with as few details as possible.<br />

Did a new model Mock-up for my Get In design. Support it on <a href="http://bortwein.tumblr.com/post/19573335249/get-in-is-a-commentary-on-love-togetherness">Tumblr</a><br />

I did some major work to my &quot;Get In&quot; concept over lunch. Here is how it came out. What do you think?<br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/17221206@N00/6836632120/in/photostream/"><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7048/6836632120_5a85f149a4.jpg" /></a><br />

Concept #2 for the GAP contest. (Submitted)<br />

I call it &quot;Rainy Day Boots&quot;<br />

<br />
Here is one of my ideas for the GAP challenge. It is a car door with a heart in the upper corner of the window. I feel like I have more work to give the illustration more life but I wanted to share the idea and get some feedback. Titled: &quot;Get In&quot;<br />

I have a few others in mind but nothing started to show. I hope to get a few good concepts in for this challenge.<br />

			<description><![CDATA[I haven't been buying a lot of shirts lately but I think I now own all but 1 of the Zip Pouches for my markers. Threadless needs to print up more Zip Pouches and bags and such. I would also buy a Messenger bag with &quot;Tools of the Trade&quot; on it in a second. Also any of my designs printed on any other product would be great. <br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />
B<br />

Here are a few ideas. If these were printed on the Zip Pouches, I'd Buy Them.<br />
