RYZ Sneaker Design Contest
Our designs are created by artists, DJs, poets, students, dreamers, doers and other unique individuals like you. But that doesn't stop them from achieving design immortality – or sharing in the profit, each winner receives $1000 + $1 for every pair we sell online.
We'll post the design entries online and let our community decide what’s hot and what’s not. The design that receives the most votes wins. It’s produced and sold to adoring fans from around the world. Bragging rights and a share of the profits included.
Yes, this is a popularity contest – and like all democracies, participation is important. So download your template, create your design, then tell everybody you know to vote early and often. And may you RYZ to the occasion.

Textbooks and Tutoring
Hello all at AiPD~
After three years at this school, I've accumulated a number of textbooks. Anyone in IND can borrow them, just email me at hijokaze at gmail dot com. I'm going to see if I can leave them at the shop (you still have to email me), and I'm working out a system to keep track of my books. In the meantime, here is my book list:
Fundamentals of Precalculus – Dugopolski (Trig/Calculus with Greg Tyler)
Industrial Plastics: Theory and Applications – Lokensgard (Materials and Processes?)
The Western Heritage Vol. 2 – Kagan/Ozment/Turner (HMC?)
A History of Interior Design 2nd Edition – Pile (All HMC classes)
Frames of Reference (used to be for Art and Ideas)
Beginner's Guide to Solidworks 2007 – Alejandro Reyes (CAD 3D)
A Type Primer - John Kane (Typography I)
Mastering Digital Photography 2nd edition – Busch (Photography)
Documents of Western Civilization – Jackson Spielvogel (For HMC with Archer)
The New Central Asia – Olivier Roy (History of Central Asia)
Construction Drawings and Details for Interiors – Kilmer (Drafting)
Books I have but prefer not to loan unless you give it back to me in the exact same condition:
The Design of Everyday Things – Donald Norman
How to Draw the Human Figure – Louise Gordon (Figure Drawing/Anatomy)
Chinese Art/ Japanese Art (For Japanese and Chinese Art History class, w/e it's called)
I am also up for tutoring in computer classes, mostly Image Manipulation and Digital Illustration, and Intro to Computer Graphics. I can also help with the beginner drawing classes (Color theory, Drawing, Anatomy if you happen to be taking it)
