VICTORIAN CRICKET TEAM TO WEAR
JOSH’S HELMET DESIGN
JOSHUA FRAWLEY
Past student, Joshua Frawley, Class of 2019, loves art and design
and recently entered a competition to design a cricket helmet for the
Victorian Cricket Team.
Josh’s design was selected as the winning design, and was worn by
the Victorian team during a Sheffield Shield test match on 19 March
against Tasmania at the Junction Oval, St Kilda.
Jamie said he was on social media and saw the Masuri Helmet
Design Challenge which was closing later that day.
“I saw the opportunity and got on to it straight away. I spent the next
couple of hours developing my hand-drawn design before submitting
it prior to the closing time later that day,” he said.
As part of the winning prize, Jamie attended the game to present the
Victorian Team with their helmets and received a signed cricket bat
from all members of the team.
Josh wishes to thank everyone that has supported him to date, in
particular his mum, dad and best friend Bonnie.
“I also want to extend a big thank you to my Visual Communications
teacher at Damascus College, Anne Griffin, for helping me develop
my visual design skills and getting me through VCE.”
Josh is in his first year of a Bachelor of Communications at Federation
University where he enjoys graphic design and visual communication.
He dreams of one day working for Disney as a character designer.
Josh’s design included everything he could think of at the time with
objects that related to cricket which included cartoon drawings of
flowers, cricket stumps, buildings etc.
I was over the moon when I was told I had won
the competition. I have always been a cricket fan
and to have my idols, like Aaron Finch, wearing my
design is truly unbelievable.
