About The Layers of Chicago:

 My design is based on a topographical map of Chicago. I rendered it to celebrate the diversity of Chicago and all that it has to offer. It is a colorful representation of all of the layers of the city and its organizations. If this design is chosen, I will use paint to re-create the design onto the golf ball.

About Chicago’s Flag:

 My design is based on Chicago’s Flag. I love the colors and simplicity of the design. Much like Chicago and its community, the design is strong and cheerful.
