“Lone Star T-shirt” Tech Pack

(July 2023). This and the “Industrial” T-shirt were my first attempts at bringing one of my designs to life and creating a techpack for them as if I was going to put them into mass production. This design is pretty direct and pays homage to my Texas ties.

The flag is designed as if the light is reflecting off it, creating a gradient effect. The star has been replaced with the Seal of Solomon logo I was playing with as the initial brand staple logo. Under the design is the phrase, “The Lone Star shines the brightest” referencing the nickname of Texas; this phrase was made with the intent of wanting people to embrace doing things by themselves. On the front chest pocket area is a “Muse” typograph that also uses a gradient fill based on the colors of the Texas flag.

For being one of my first attempts, I’m pretty pleased with the outcome of both the shirt itself and the techpack made for it. There are still improvements that could be made, but this project helped me get more comfortable with communicating my designs and ideas to someone who is responsible for making them come to life.
