YCN (Howies)
This was set by Howies and run in conjunction with YCN. The brief set by Howies was to design a T-shirt design around the theme of 'HOPE'. Idea 1: For a t-shirt to hope to be worn, used and abused in everyday life. Idea 2: Wear your mistakes with pride - You have to know where your coming from to know where your going. Basically, colour in the little characters where you have made a mistake (Injury, cut, breakup, passed out etc)
Media: Paint, Photoshop.

Major Poject 1

Battle Royale : Used the characters weapons in the film to create a marketing campaign that brought a bit of light to a bleak film.
