Concept statement
This design represents the unity between all races, cultures and individuals in America. The heart symbolizes the unity and the writing represents how America embraces this unity as it is within the heart.
Where in the world would you go to and why?
Of all the places on this planet, I would love to travel to Europe and England in particular.
Favourite stuff?
When it comes to colours, food, songs, books or movies, I don't really have any particular favourites. I love all kinds of music although the genre that stands out most to me is rock (and the sub-genres of it =D). My all-time favourite bands are Elliot Minor, MCR and The Hush Sound. My hobbies/favourite pastimes are writing (lyrics, short stories etc.), singing, designing, reading, listening to music and hanging out with my awesome friends and family.
What will you be doing in 10 years?
In ten years time, I hope to be a paediatrician who can spare some time for story writing, singing and designing. But who knows, only time will tell :)
Why should you win this competition?
I put a lot of effort and time into designing this shirt. The idea was simple but I did several designs before sending in this one. Every single one of the top ten designs deserve to win. I think my design goes well with the concept and its simple, symbolic and effective. I've got this far, why not go further?
