Artist: Erica Dean

Hometown: Lawrenceville, GA

Occupation: Student

About the design: I wanted to capture the essence of the Fourth of July in a subtle, yet fun way. I chose to make the peach the star of the show; the leading lines sprouting from the peach showcases the bold energy of fireworks, with the dotted lines alluding to roads. I chose muted colors for a less aggressive approach, so the lines and overall illustration wouldn't get washed out by bold colors.

About the design: Runners constantly check their watch to monitor their pace, heart rate and anything else these fancy features offer. So why not have the shirt feature one of a runner's favorite accessories? The watch face is ode to the peach and the 4th of July, but it also includes some data presented in the form of the four area codes of Atlanta, symbolizing the ongoing growth and expansion of the city's population and identity

About the design: To me, The Peachtree feels like a kickoff party for the rest of your Fourth of July! I wanted the design to be fun and vibrant, and to represent what a joy it is to experience running down Peachtree year after year.

About the design: I wanted to capture the feeling of the uphill portion of the race, which is the most challenging, but often the most memorable.

Artist: Cece Page

Occupation: Graphic Designer & Owner of The Cece Shop

Hometown: Atlanta, GA

About the design: I love that Atlanta's nickname is The City in the Forest and wanted to incorporate that into my design. I run regularly and always enjoy looking at the way Atlanta's urban architecture blends so well with our abundance of trees and plants. There's so many rolling hills and winding roads and Atlanta doesn't follow a traditional grid which makes it feel like a big, patchwork neighborhood.
