A T-shirt for scholarship recipients. Seriously? That was my thought when first discussing this project at work. How ironic that this would turn into one of my favorite T-shirt designs so far. After deciding on the concept, I started drawing the design and ended up ditching those sketches. Then I started placing lots and lots of money symbols in my Illustrator file, not sure if the effect would work visually. But once I finished, I loved the look. Finally, I added a short phrase to the design, hoping the audience would get it after a few seconds, and I think that little addition really completed the concept.
