Design for Production requires us to design a two-colour tshirt for a local event. I chose Fairtrade Fortnight – which happens in May. I figured it might be better to pick something I care a little about rather than something on par with the Airshow. Inclusion of event logos has to be limited (or non-existent). So after many very bad vector based ideas (Which I don’t know if I want to share), driving in the car on the way home at 1am something vaguely like this came to my head.
It’s a bit rough, not sure if this is exactly what the final outcome should look like, whether I should remove the overlayed rays or/and add some extra imagery – and I probably need to deal with the bottom edges of the buildings as they look a bit unfinished and cut off. But there you go. Suggestions appreciated.
If I like it enough, I might enter it in this competition.

In a valiant effort to make homework seem interesting, let me share. My uni subject Design & Buinsess Strategy is a group based initiative related to the development of a business plan and whatever other paraphernalia comes with that – our constraint: the business must be based around Social Entrepreneurship. This is infact an incredibly interesting topic and only dry in the sense that it is 10:30pm and I would rather be lazying around watching a West Wing. We drew the standard blanks last week of an initial group meeting where no two people knew each other nor had very many good ideas OR our ideas were too complex for the comparatively short 12 week assignment.
As of yesterday, I am back at uni for my final year of Communication Design.
