T-Shirt Transfer
Your graphic design boss has a friend who owns a small record label called, “EarthBeat!” His friend called one day with the bright idea to create a series of T-Shirt transfers to give away with their new CD series. Your boss agrees to do the job for free, and you volunteer to help in a misguided effort to climb the career ladder. But, after you hear about the complete job, you make a note to yourself not to volunteer ever again.
EarthBeat! has a logo, but they don’t have the original artwork. So the logo was snatched from a piece of letterhead and scanned in at 72 dpi and in CMYK colour mode. The accompanying art is pixelated beyond belief as well, as it was saved at the same resolution and colour mode. You receive the images below in two separate files:
Your final image will look like this (you say in your head):
The boss and the record company didn’t leave any information about size, colour, or how they want you to merge the artwork, other than the fact that you need to lay out six images per page.
Linda Goin carries an A.A. in graphic design, a B.F.A. in visual communications with a minor in business and marketing and an M.A. in American History with a minor in the Reformation. While the latter degree doesn't seem to fit with the first two educational experiences, Linda used her 25-year design expertise on archaeological digs and in the study of material culture. Now she uses her education and experiences in social media experiments.
