Bucket List: Design a T-Shirt

October 27, 2014

Bucket List: Design a T-Shirt

I’m pleased to announce I’ve crossed one more item off of my bucket list!

A few months back, my coworker Casey asked if I would help him design a logo for an event. He’s on the board of Camp Blodgett, a nonprofit camp right on Lake Michigan. Every fall they have their Lakeshore Brewfest to fundraise for scholarships to send kids to camp.

In exchange, I got some free tickets, which meant free beer, hard cider, pulled pork sandwiches, pizza, and pint glasses.

Umm, okay.

I wanted to accentuate the idea of it being a brewfest, so I used a beer cap as the base of the logo design.

For the Lakeshore Brewfest text, I used my favorite font, Bebas Neue.

I then took elements of the Camp Blodgett logo to fill in around the text.

When I arrived, I was pleasantly surprised to find out they put the logo I designed on the pint glasses and t-shirts.

While I didn’t technically design the t-shirt, I’m still achieving what I wanted. The main idea is to have a t-shirt that showcases one of my designs. I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out, and I’m so proud to be able to wear it whenever I want!

    That is so awesome! I love the logo. I’ve certainly never designed shirts on this level, but my sister and I make matching shirts for our sisters’ trips (we’re cool like that). They always get double takes and lots of questions!
