Travel-Themed T-Shirt Design

I’m building a line of T-shirts that capture the spirit of modern travellers—pieces someone can wear whether they are crossing continents or exploring their own backyard. I need a creative apparel designer who can translate that wanderlust into standout graphics and compelling typography, sized and pre-flighted for screen print or DTG.

The brief
• Style: distinctly “traveller,” not strictly casual, formal, or athletic. Think versatile silhouettes, minimal but expressive artwork, and colours that work internationally as well as domestically.
• Destinations: designs should resonate with both domestic and international journeys, so references can be universal icons (passports, coordinates, skylines) rather than location-specific clichés.
• Format: layered vector files (AI or EPS) plus high-resolution PNGs with transparent backgrounds. Please keep text editable.
• Printing specs: provide CMYK versions, max 6 colours per design.

I collaborate in Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop, so source files in those formats are ideal. If you use Procreate or Affinity, that’s fine—just export clean vectors.

Acceptance criteria
1. Original artwork; stock or AI-generated assets are fine only if you own the full rights and can transfer them.
2. Designs scale cleanly to 12" × 16" without pixelation.
3. Colour separations ready for print; test mock-ups on black, white, and heather tees.

Share a quick note on your concept process and include one or two portfolio pieces that show you can balance style with wanderlust. I’m ready to start immediately and will give fast feedback so we can get this collection into production.
