The T-Shirt Has a Voice: A USF Upward Bound Project: 6/14/09

Project Description

The T-Shirt Has a Voice is a class that includes both the history and design culture around ‘the t-shirt’ and how it is one of the most popular forms of public art and advertisement that we, as a community, are exposed. The class will learn the technical aspect of software tools, color, and composition skills. In addition, they will also learn about specific moments/figures in history and how those specific events inspired people to create t-shirts as a response to what was going on around them.

The final project will be to design a t-shirt that will be sold in the TRUE and FTC clothing boutiques on Haight Street, San Francisco. Students will present t-shirt design concepts to the boutique owners/reps. and will be required to develop a minor marketing strategy around the designs to help sell their products. The goal here is not about profit, but more about experience, process, and research.
