Your advertisement should have colors that catch the eye and the print should contrast with the background.

Look at road signs as a good example of contrast. They are quickly and easily read from a distance.

Print AdvertisementsTime to give it a try!

Design a T-shirt using logos, mottos, colors, layout and design.

You are trying to communicate an idea to your audience and increase school spirit.

The main idea should be clear and expressed in bold pictures or print.

The shirt should not be cluttered and should have only elements that add to it’s effect.

Rehearse everything out loud to hear how the lines flow together.
