Designing a school shirt T-shirt that students actually want to wear is never an easy task. When I was offered the role of designing the Senior T-shirt for the Arlington Heights High School Class of '24, there were several challenges I had to address.

I wanted the shirt to be a fun color because Senior year is a celebration. I went with a light pink. Yet, I wanted the shirt to be taken seriously, and still appeal to boys, so the design is a more trendy, masculine, san-serif sketchy illustration, which the guys ended up loving. The design captures the entryway to Heights, making it so special to the students who walk up those steps everyday.

The shirt was a success, raising hundreds for the Class of '24, and giving the student body with a design they could wear confidently.
