T-shirt Design Brief
We are a beach wear apparel company based in the USA however with worldwide distribution. We are launching a t-shirt series early in 2014 and are seeking to open source for artist renderings of design ideas we have. Traditional beach wear companies are very conservative and boring we want our brand to be edgy and cutting edge. Don't hold back! We'll have more to come, however for now for one t-shirt design idea we desire:
We'd like to bring the "image" that surf represents to more of an inner city community (think NYC). I leave the interpretation to you as an artist, however African American(s) and surfing, figure it out. May mean on the ocean/wave, or something creative in the inner city. We want to reach out to more African Americans and Surfing. Think more gritty.
In terms of specs:
12" by 12” at minimum 300 dpi and designs files to be in an unflattened ai, eps, psd, or pdf file
