Alive and V-Dubbin’ 2009 T-Shirt

Posted 14 Jun 2009 - 4 Gratefully received comments

A local VW enthusiasts club called the “Suffolk Bug’rs” has staged their first big open event this weekend, it’s called “Alive and V-Dubbin’ 2009”
I was asked to design the event t-shirt. The full back design had to include an illustration of the three main vehicles that would feature in the show, the Beetle, the split screen camper and the bay window van.
I went for a mixture of American roadside diner, and Hawaiian spirit icons to make up the design in support of the vehicle illustrations.

Full Back Illustration:

Full Front Illustration:

    Thanks for my first comment post, Fred. As a prize I’ll see if I can sort you out a shirt, if you fancy it.

    They are actually fantastic. Would be intresting to add a post about the whole design process.
    Why on the bay an splittie is the badge just a ‘V’?

    @neller Thanks for commenting. I plan to do a small tutorial in the future about preparing artwork for different print processes. The t-shirt one will probably be the first. I might well use this design as the sample.
    The badge on the Vans was changed to a V partly because of the name of the event, where the letter is emphasised, but mostly because we didn’t want to use VW corporate branding without permission.
