Making the Faux-Vintage Real

OK, so most of you received and filled out my recent T Shirt survey... and now I am calling on you once again.

The idea: To create a visual history of the modern man's prized possession: The T.


Here I have collected my favorite T Shirts. Some over 10 years old, others bought last week. Below I created a new identity from the shirts by combining the most compelling visually imagery from each shirt. Thus creating a time capsule of T's so that even when they are lost, stolen, or evaporate due to over-wearing the user will have an archive of their beloved T. This project is in direct opposition to all those crap fake vintage-looking T Shirts companies try to sell our demographic.


Task for the IC Members: Take digital images of your favorite T Shirts and send them to me. Minimum 6 shirts. Maximum 10. Many of my classmates have shown interest in partaking in this project, but I told them to hold off, because I believe I have a focus group already in place. Please tell me if you want to do this, and don't in anyway feel like you have to... But if you say you want to do it, I will need your images by the this Sunday. Ideally the final output for this project will be screen printed T shirts, which I will of course give to you if you decide to do it. I hope you think it is a worthwhile venture.
