SPACE 17 Feature Report
Sportswear, sneakers, caps etc are the key elements for fans to support sports events. We want to copy those sports stars’ apparel and styles, for example, NY cap, the light orange and blue colored Linsanity T-shirt etc. Through these apparel, people could guess which sports star you support. These images that people could instantly recognize is what we called, athletic design!
This month Gama-island is full of energy and enthusiasm, hosting an “Athletic Design Exhibition” at SPACE 17 and showcasing jerseys and a wall of athletic designs. Right now, all kinds of sports competitions are carrying out throughout the world and this summer, London is hosting the Olympics. In light of this, SPACE 17 takes everyone down to the memory lane and introduces all kinds of image identification designs and aesthetics. Through the power of design we could promote and facilitate the transmission of positive energy.
Are you missing out on the sports craze? Come pay a visit at SPACE 17!
