Design is the Big Apple of Emily’s eye

EMILY Martin’s T-shirt will be the pride of New York when 10,000 runners don it while racing through the streets. The 22-year-old Capital art student won a prestigious contest to design the T-shirt ahead of next month’s Scotland Run, part of Scotland Week 2012.

Her winning piece blends Edinburgh Castle with the famous New York City skyline and features runners’ silhouettes set against the backdrop of the two cities. A Tartan pattern is woven throughout the blue design.
