Route 66 Apparel Design
In celebration of 100 years of Route 66, Missouri State University collaborated with the City of Springfield, Missouri to host the Route 66 Centennial Kickoff Celebration. For this event, I designed a commemorative T-shirt that merges the spirit of Missouri State with the history of Route 66. The design features three custom car illustrations created in Adobe Illustrator alongside a map of Route 66, highlighting Springfield with the Bear Head logo.

Printed On-site
Hosted at The Old Glass Place in downtown Springfield, this design was printed on-site, giving guests an interactive experience as they selected their shirt color and watched each piece being produced in real time. With the support of student volunteers from Glendale High School DECA, the Missouri State University Bookstore successfully sold more than 175 shirts throughout the event.
