T-shirt Design Brief
Annual Tennis Three-Day Event at our country club, which features beautiful grass courts. We need a unisex t-shirt design for the participants, reflecting the theme of our tournament, "The Rough and Smooth."
The concept of "Rough and Smooth" can be derived from either the surfaces of the tennis courts—clay (rough) and grass (smooth)—or the texture of tennis racket strings, with one side rough and the other smooth. The design should have two variations: one featuring "ROUGH" and the other "SMOOTH."
Participants, who will be playing in mixed doubles teams (one male and one female per team), will wear these t-shirts as a favor. We want a creative design that captures the spirit of the event and can be slightly altered to distinguish between the two variations while maintaining a cohesive look.
I've attached a copy of our event logo for reference. This can play a role in the t-shirt design. I've also attached a photo of a t-shirt that I purchased at the US Open (golf) back in 2022 but it inspired me to do this project. It had me thinking that the word Rough and the word Smooth would somehow potentially incorporate the Rough and Smooth logo. We might put the year on the sleeve or back of the shirt. Just hoping to have some simple, fun, playful design.
