Congratulations. You are all now fashion designers and your substrate is the most utilitarian, accessible piece of clothing in the world...the T-SHIRT!
Required: A series of THREE designs.
Your series of three must include a similar color palette and concept that ties them all together.
one shirt must be purely image illustration
one shirt must be purely a typographic illustration
one shirt must be an all over pattern/image illustration
The three must relate in concept and color.

If you have a TOTALLY different idea, yet it is still a series of three shirts, talk to me. You might want to make them all three an all over pattern illustration or you might want to make all three an image only illustration or you might want to make all three a typographic illustration. GO FOR IT, but your concept must be solid and smart. I am open to your ideas. Don't be afraid to ask...I don't want to get in the way of greatness!
You may also experiment with t-shirt styles (tanks, v-necks etc).

Remember: your t-shirts must relate in color and content.
