Abstract Merch Graphic Design

I need a fresh set of original graphics for an upcoming t-shirt and merchandise line built around an abstract aesthetic. Each concept should weave together text, hand-drawn or vector illustrations, and bold pattern work in a way that feels current yet unmistakably on-brand.

Here is how the work will flow:
• I’ll pass you a short creative brief with theme, color direction, and phrasing ideas.
• You’ll sketch, refine, and deliver fully vectorised artwork in Adobe Illustrator (CMYK + spot colours) along with layered Photoshop mock-ups so I can visualise placement on different garments.
• Final files must be print-ready: outlined fonts, 300 dpi, correct bleed, and named layers.

Acceptance criteria
• Every design clearly shows all three requested elements—text, illustration, and pattern—balanced within an abstract style.
• Colours remain consistent across AI and PSD versions.
• Files open cleanly with no missing assets or font warnings.

When you reply, tell me briefly about the experiences that make you a good fit for apparel graphics and include a link or two to finished pieces you’ve taken from sketch to print. I’ll review portfolios as they arrive and get the first brief to the selected designer right after confirmation.
