Designs for Make A Splash - READ!



Designing t-shirts for librarians (and staff) is NOT my favorite thing. People are very opinionated about what they will wear. So the entire project usually begins with color restrictions, etc. I've never considered myself a "logo" designer but more of an illustrative artist ... so my t-shirts have you basically wearing a poster. For the past several years, I have been using the stock CD of supplied art for each summer reading theme. But not this year! The supplied art was dull and I was encouraged to give it a go. The result: One splashy t-shirt!

It reminds me of all the summers spent on the bottom of the community pool with a big teen-age boy's foot unwittingly holding me down. Ah! Fun!

And below we have both sides of the reading log. This is such a fun theme and I'm glad that the supplied art was crap so I get to do my own!
