"21 Days of Design" Challenge
by Pensole Academy
"Do you have what it takes to become a professional footwear designer? Design is a skill that takes dedication and commitment in order for you to get better and so you can impress brands through your work. Below is a message from our founder, D’Wayne Edwards:
“My commitment to design started back in 1989, where EVERYDAY for 6-months, I put sketches in the suggestion box of the company I worked for. It was that dedication that got the attention of the president of the company who hired me.
I did it for 180 days but join us in the #21DaysofDesign challenge and compete daily via Instagram in 21 consecutive days of sketching contests. "
For a starting point, the above sole was used as a reference for all 21 concepts and depending on the concept evolved as the shoe revealed itself.
