IT-Themed Apparel Design: T-Shirt and Hawaiian Shirt

**Title:** Apparel Designer Needed for Defense-Tech T-Shirt + Custom Hawaiian Shirt Artwork

DO NOT USE AI - WE CAN DO THAT

I’m looking for a freelance apparel designer to create custom artwork for two related shirt projects: one screen-printed t-shirt and one all-over print Hawaiian shirt.

The overall theme is a modern defense-tech / information innovation organization focused on artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, information technology, resilient systems, and national defense. The design should feel smart, technical, mission-driven, and future-focused — not cartoonish, not generic “hacker,” and not overly tactical.

**Project 1: Screen-Printed T-Shirt**

I need a two-sided t-shirt design:

* One front design
* One different back design
* Cohesive overall look between the front and back
* Artwork prepared for screen printing
* Vector-preferred final files

Possible visual directions include:

* AI / neural network visuals
* Cyber defense or digital shield concepts
* Secure data flow, signal pathways, or network nodes
* Resilient infrastructure / interconnected systems
* Retro-future computing mixed with modern defense technology
* Clean briefing-room / aerospace / technical aesthetic

Possible tagline language to explore:

* Create Technological Surprise
* Pushing Technology’s Limits
* Redefining Possible
* Information Advantage
* Trustworthy AI. Resilient Systems.
* Secure. Adaptive. Ahead.
* Future Capabilities for National Security

Preferred style:

* Deep navy, black, slate, steel blue, muted cyan, white
* Limited accent color, such as red or electric blue
* Bold, clean, technical typography
* Strong vector shapes, grids, signal lines, circuit/data motifs
* Must remain readable from a distance
* Should work well on dark shirts

**Project 2: Custom Hawaiian Shirt Artwork**

I also need custom all-over artwork for a Hawaiian shirt. I already have the general idea and will provide direction/assets, but I need a designer to create the polished custom artwork and repeatable pattern for production.

This should be a true apparel/textile-style design, not just a logo placed over a background. The final artwork should feel intentional, balanced, and ready to apply to a shirt template.

For the Hawaiian shirt, I need:

* Custom all-over artwork/pattern
* Balanced layout suitable for a button-up Hawaiian shirt
* Production-aware design that considers seams, pockets, bleed, and safe areas
* Files suitable for use with a manufacturer/template

**Deliverables Needed**

* Front t-shirt design
* Back t-shirt design
* Hawaiian shirt all-over artwork/pattern
* Vector or high-resolution print-ready files
* Editable source files
* Transparent PNG previews
* Any separated files needed for screen printing or production

**Ideal Designer**

Please have experience with:

* Apparel graphics
* Screen print design
* Textile or all-over print patterns
* Production-ready design files
* Technical, military, government, cyber, AI, or aerospace-inspired visuals

Please include:

* Relevant portfolio examples
* Estimated turnaround time
* Pricing for the full project
* What file formats you provide
* Whether you can work from a shirt template/manufacturer file
