New T-Shirts Available!

These shirts will be available during Spelmansstämman this Saturday, August 15th. We have 25 t-shirts available, and they will be sold on a first-come, first-served basis. Once we sell out, there will be an order form for people to request specific sizes and colors as a preorder!

The shirts are a poly-cotton blend and available in three colors: Navy Blue, Maroon, and Black. Across four different sizes: small, medium, large, and extra large.

This project was a part of Ezra’s summer internship. He designed the shirts, conducted a survey to finalize the design, and worked alongside Ann and Linnea to submit the print order to Elpis Enterprises.

 

The initial three designs sketched in Photoshop

The community’s favorite design was Option 1, the Dala horse.

After the design was decided, it was refined in Illustrator for the final submission to Elpis Enterprises.
