Harper Charity
Cruise T-Shirt
Contest Winner
Project Brief
Create a T-shirt design for the 2020 Shorewood Kiwanis Harper Charity Cruise. It must include an American made car from the past 100 years, use 4 spot colors including white, and your name somewhere on the design.
Goal
The goal is to sell a T-shirt with a design that has a wide appeal to help raise money for charity.
Target Market
The target market includes men ages 40–70, car enthusiasts, and families.
Concept
I wanted to create a design that honors the classic Ford Thunderbird while also adding a modern twist with some bold graphics.
Contest
This was a contest run by Shorewood Kiwanis and Macomb Community College, it was offered only to Macomb Community College students, and there were over 50 entries.
Placement
I received 1st place! Winning this contest I received a $1000 scholarship, a $1000 cash prize, and the opportunity for my design to be the main Harper Charity Cruise T-shirt.
*Unfortunately due to Covid-19, the Harper Charity Cruise was cancelled and the shirts were not printed.
Variations
Typography/Color
Final Design
If you look at the design from a distance, you can see that the black graphic behind the car emulates a tire and hubcap.
