Icebreaker Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 I'm not actually Icebreaker. I'm his son. I am 7 years old and love designing jerseys.I know that most of you are grown ups, and I would love to know what you think of my designs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB61 Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 Wow. That's pretty nifty, actually. I like the fact that the "LL" in Bulls are used as nostrils. My only constructive criticism would be to move the hat from the bottom of the jersey to the top, above "Wizards".Icebreaker, in one attempt, your son has managed to top a certain one frequent poster who has ten years on him. Not only are these cool, but with some tweaking, these would actually be useful as concepts.(I just hope that he has other colors in his pencil / marker box besides black and light blue. ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icebreaker Posted July 9, 2007 Author Share Posted July 9, 2007 Hey, thank you so much for your comments. You've made him a happy camper.BTW, he's just pulled out his box of 84 gel pens. I think I know what he'll be doing all day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mings Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 If you can get him a box of Prismacolors. They are a little pricy, but they are damn good, cover well, and you can blend them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gueman Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 Well isn't that how we all started. I am impressed! Now dad...you need to have some quality time with the boy and some easy drawing programs. Heck maybe even get him a digital tablet. But a good sketch book and some proper colored pencils for sure. As for C&C little icebreaker...take your time, and neatness counts.

Audiodrama Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 Great job little guy! You could actually compete with a few of the designers here! I love seeing this kind of creativity at such a young age. Absolutely love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Am A Flaming Douche Bag Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 That is pretty good for a 7 year old. I wonder what theyll look like when he fully understands how to work a computer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maz Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 Can I make this kid the Young Guns' official Jersey Designer? Hes got some SERIOUS potential Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patsox Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 Keep it up wee man!!!(Maybe he should re-do Patsox's Coca Cola jersey from his other thread....)You need to stop. Iceman Jr's jerseys are good as far as jerseys designed by seven year olds go. I think you should draw crests instead of writing the name on the front, though buddy.

Icebreaker Posted July 9, 2007 Author Share Posted July 9, 2007 Thank you everyone for your words of encouragement.The little guy is in heaven.His latest work is below.If I was to invest in a software package for him to work with, what would you recommend?He's reasonably computer literate for his age. I'm always catching him surfing youtube.And there's got to be a better way to upload images than using the digital camera. I'd appreciate any suggestions.

patsox Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 That last one is awesome! I seriously love it!As for design programs, just start him off in Paint I'd say. It's probably the easiest to use for someone his age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icebreaker Posted July 9, 2007 Author Share Posted July 9, 2007 Can I make this kid the Young Guns' official Jersey Designer? Hes got some SERIOUS potentialOh boy...now his head is ballooning! You tell him what you want, and he'll put his heart, soul, and gel pens to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maz Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 Well, you could let him use Microsoft Paint until you get him a program.Also if your computer has a scanner you could scar his concepts and then crop so its just the actual jerseys and resize it.About his latest creation, its pretty cool. I like the barberpole sleeves, like a lime green Ottawa senators. However, the crest looks more like a wizard than a goblin to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoopskid Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 You can go anywhere from paint, that's what a lot of people start with.Then use some more complicated programs. I wouldn't introduce him to photoshop just yet, in fact, I'd encourage him to keep drawing them. That is how I started, just by drawing. Let him work on his hand skills before he turns to a computer.

BB61 Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 I started with paint a long, long time ago, reduxing all of the NFL and NHL logos in small size.I love that Boston Goblins one. Lime Green! Fantastic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
