(re)DC: The Tourist T-shirt
(re)DC is a new creative project series by ReadysetDC. We are looking at things that we see all the time in DC, and making a call to improve them. A simple concept to raise the bar.
We are starting simple, with DC’s “tourist t-shirt”. We’ve pulled together some talented artists and designers to rethink what this shirt could be. CLICK HERE TO SEE THE DESIGNS. Check out the designs they’ve put their time and sweat into. YOU vote. Look through all of the entries and make your decision at the bottom. The winning design will be “gifted” to the public, under Creative Commons (Attribution, No Derivatives). Until their is a winner, artists maintain all rights to their works.
A special thanks to Jeff Tien, Erik Dreyer, Kiril Tchangov, Elizabeth Graeber, E.B. Davis III, Adrian Constantyn, Jenny Griffith and Alex Slater for participating.
The winning design will be printed and sold for the first time at a ReadysetDC party to be announced this week. Just keep your August 20th evening available.
