Designing t-shirts was one of the reasons I decided to pursue a career in graphic design. There is an art to communicating a powerful message with a single image and a few words. It can check your morals or challenge your beliefs but a good t-shirt looks fucking cool while it does it. If you can’t be safe look dangerous.

A play on words usually referring to making peace, in this case peace was achieved through gratuitous violence. Another dark t-shirt design.

With the collective knowledge of mankind at our fingertips all held within everyone’s little magic panic box, it somehow always has some bad news if you look at it long enough.

This was a joke mock up that made it onto 308’s metaphorical fridge. “Perfect cropping” and the perfect mock up platform come together for a few laughs.

Brief: Design a class t-shirt using two colors. Originally we had to come up with twenty concepts with five versions of the each idea. We presented our sketch books and had help from our classmates to narrow down our concepts to 3. This was my final design and my other two were “Bad News” and “Bury the Hatchet”.

This t-shirt design is loud, sharp and dark. It sends a message even if you don’t read English.

Brief: Design a t-shirt design for screen printing to learn the process of flashing and cure the ink so the water based ink doesn’t wash out.

Nux the half-life war boy from Fury Road was a screen-printing project with an adjusted “Dawn of the Dead” style type. The black layer is threshold with a white under-base.
