The T-Shirt Has a Voice

The ‘T-Shirt Has a Voice Project’ is a USF Upward Bound class that gives high school youth an outlet to design their own t-shirt, utilizing their voice, opinions, and influences on a blank canvas.

For the past five months, 7 young designers came together, learned the history of the t-shirt, concept development, software design tools, presentation skills, and marketing strategies. The youth collaborated with FTC and TRUE, San Francisco to bring their designs to the masses.

On Saturday, May 23, 2009, the high school students presented their work to the public at the local boutiques on Haight Street in SF. Check out images from the launch and behind the scenes in our gallery.
