Mayor's Cup Regatta T-shirt Design

This year I was asked to create the T-shirt design for the 2010 Mayors Cup Regatta. Co-sponsored by the Lake Townsend Yacht Club and the Greensboro Parks and Recreation Department, the regatta will be held June 4-6th at Lake Townsend in Bryan Park, Greensboro North Carolina.

I created the T-shirt design with Microsoft Expression Design 2, using several photos for reference. The image depicts two sailors on the high side of a boat as it heels to the wind. Part of my goal was to incorporate the green from the Lake Townsend Yacht Club's logo, which I used as a background behind the sailors and racing flag, reminiscent of the abundance of trees surrounding the lake.
