Design 3 Task 7

Cert 3 Design 3 Task 7 Shoes
I worked on a process of elimination, matching what seemed to be the most obvious shoe/label combination.
1st Mesquite with cowboy boots. The era suggested by both (wild west) pls the rivet marks on the letters matching the markings on the boots
2nd snell Roundhand with fluffy mules. Flourishes on letters suggested fluffyness
3rd Tekton with platform wedges - less easy but lettering and platforms suggested tall and leggy
4th Arnold Bocklin with ankle boots. An intuitive leap. The umlaut and shoes both suggested german to me.
5th Campus and gym boots - apparently now called high tops. Black & white lettering with a black and white shoe, and “campus” with a shoe that reminded me of student s
Last Cooper Black - short wide babyish letters, short wide child shoes. The bold (blackness) also suggested the dirtiness of the shoes
