T-shirt Design Brief
We need a full color t-shirt designed (front only) that is designed around the following message, "New York State of Mine". The scenery in this design should be colorful and should have the sites and sounds of your choice of a signature location of New York State. Your design themes to choose from are:
-New York City (Manhattan or Brooklyn, or a combination of all NYC boroughs)
-Upstate NY (think fall colors, hills, hiking etc.)
-Or somehow a combination of all the sectors of NY State (NYC, Central/Upstate, Western NY and Far North)
-Feel free to use the shape of NY state if you can find an artistically creative way to do it.
-The graphics should cover most of the front of the shirt from the top of the chest all the way to somewhere on the stomach
-The graphics should be very colorful and should be placed on a black t-shirt background
IMPORTANT: The words "New York State of Mine" or "NY State of Mine" need to be centrally focused over the graphics. Make sure to use some strong block fonts for the text.
-Lastly, we also need to you add a crest style logo somewhere on the shirt that says the following: NY State of Mine, by Urban Americans. This crest can be placed on the inside tag area of the shirt or on the back of the shirt between the shoulder blades.
