T-shirt Design Brief

A while back I came across a comic strip entitled 'How Tshirts Are Made' (see uploaded file, 'Comic Strip'). I decided that I want to make the tshirt in the final panel, the one that says 'San Jose Disco Club 1983', but make one which is more visually appealling i.e. not just black text on a plain tshirt.

I decided to use San Jose in Costa Rica, and asked some locals for their help on what to include (see discussion on reddit: http://bit.ly/19ZTBfs ). The design needs to reflect both the culture / art of San Jose, and reflect a disco club from 1983.
