T-shirt Design dilemmas

These are a handful of T-shirt designs that I created during fall 2012. Clients included Red Eye Louie's, The UAB Recreation Center, Children's Miracle Network, and Trace Crossings. T-shirt designs are always a fun task, especially when constricted to minimum color usage.

Obviously, the more colors a client can use the more design options there are. Designing for one color or two color designs is almost like a puzzle or math problem to figure. Its restriction presents a narrow realm of possibilities that the designer has to figure out, especially when meeting the visual criteria of the client. And I love a good design problem to work through.

Who am I?

Gearing up for the upcoming UAB Intramurals competition, the UAB Student Media featured my t-shirt design on their website found here.

Budget friendly designs are always an interesting project to work on. The constraints for this design was a two color print featuring the words: "Who AM I? IM 2011 Champion" while including the logo and UAB Campus Rec Center. It was a rather wordy design request for a graphic print, and so this was my solution for the request.

The Director of UAB IM preferred cleanly designed options versus a mud splattered font, so to say. I would rate this result a success given the parameters. These shirts were extremely legible in photographs and were worn proudly by the winners of various IM sports.
