(1) On the front of the shirt, make your copy as faithful to the original as possible, given the limitations of the printing method you choose.



(2) For the back, design some kind of visual "intervention" or alteration that not only changes the image but also changes the meaning.

No words, no text for this one--image only!

icon tee: Billie Holiday ~ the 09 remix

project 3: culture of the copy ~ icon tees

Our current project has finally gelled in my mind. My quandary wasn't so much in finding an iconic image (narrowing it down, now that was a bit more challenging!) but in deciding how to tweak it for the back of the shirt.

Because I love Jazz, these are my final images of choice for this assignment. The amazing Lady Day, Ms. Billie Holiday, and Mr. Louis Armstrong--smokin' hot vintage trumpet man extraordinaire.

Oh, how I am wishing that my skills in Photoshop were much more developed, but so far, so good. Stay tuned to this space for photos of the finished product early next week!
