The brief for the quakka kid Tee shirt range was to firstly highlight and retain the hand drawn nature of the designs. The Tee shirt colours are all very bright colours to showcase the beautiful imagery.
Originally drawn by the clients daughter, using crayons on paper.
I worked with the clients graphic designer to keep the texture and painterly quality for the hand pulled screen prints. Producing some terrific results and bringing further attention in respect to the print colors and the alignment of the multi colored designs.
