Retro Gas Can Tee Artwork
Budget: $30 – $250 USD
I want a classic, worn-in look that celebrates an old yellow gas can I’ll supply in a reference photo. The illustration should feel genuinely retro and sit as a full-back print, finished with a subtle distressed texture so it looks as if it has already logged a few decades on the road.
Colour direction
Match the yellow hue of the original can; supporting tones can be tweaked slightly so long as they keep that vintage, sun-bleached character.
File requirements
• Editable Adobe Illustrator file (CMYK, outlined text, linked images embedded)
• High-resolution transparent PNG for quick previews
Acceptance criteria
The final artwork must:
• Reproduce the gas can’s shape and key details faithfully
• Retain a consistent retro style and distressed finish when printed at 12" wide
• Use the specified yellow as the primary colour, avoiding overly modern or neon accents
Please keep layered structure tidy for possible future tweaks. I’ll share the photo as soon as we start so you can sample colours directly.
