Objective:

Did you know that most of your favorite cartoon shows don’t make their money from show advertising? Cartoon producers make their money by selling merchandise. That means your show needs an awesome shirt for your fans to wear and spread the word! Use your character and logo to create a design that every fan of your show will want to wear with pride!

The Details

• Using Adobe Illustrator, create a T-shirt design for your character/cartoon show.
• You will produce two designs, one for the front of the shirt, and one for the back.
• Use the Adobe Illustrator document titled“T-shirt Template.ai”to produce your designs. (Edit only the Design Layer, not the T-Shirt Layer.)
• The front of the T-shirt should include the following:
  • A big, bold headline that includes your character’s name.
  • Your character’s logo (should be the biggest and boldest object on the shirt!)
  • Any additional text, graphics and/or design elements that will help the shirt look its best.
• The back of the T-shirt should include the following:
  • Your character’s logo
  • A picture of your character.
  • Any other text, graphics or design elements that will help the shirt look awesome.

The Catch:

• You may only use three colors in your design (not including the page color). (Review the Live Color and Color Guide videos on the Adobe Design Center website – they will be your friends.)
• This assignment is due on Wednesday of next week (04/06/16).
• Do your best on this assignment – the best two designs from each period will be printed on actual t-shirts on Thursday of next week.
• If you would like to have your shirts printed next week, you may bring your own t-shirt, and the iron-on print material will be provided.
