T-shirt Design Brief
I need a t-shirt design with the words "South Sea Islander" across the front somehow. The acronym is S.S.I. and I'd like these three letters to 'stand out'. I only want the wording to take up the middle third of the shirt (not top to bottom of the entire shirt front) if possible.
The shirt is in honour of my forefathers who came to Australia to work the sugar cane fields as labourers in the late 1800's to early 1900's. It was hot and tiring work performed and I want the I want the relentlessly hard work ethic to reasonate in the design e.g. Perhaps by incorporating a well defined forearm/bicep muscle.
