Not Guilty

Just before Christmas we received an email from journalist Karen Day about designing something for her charity, the Afghan Womens Justice Project. After reading her article, now out in February's Marie Claire, there was no question that we wanted to be a part of this very deserving cause. The biggest challenge was getting a design finished in one day before the magazine went to print! We knew the design would feature the text "Not Guilty", but beyond that we had free reign. Using a font straight out of the box was out of the question. So, using some ink brushstrokes, we tried to evoke the feelings of desperation, violence, and emotional distress with the situation described in Karen's article. We printed up the design on a t-shirt, sent a photo to Karen, and before we knew it, there it was in the pages of Marie Claire! Sometimes ones best work is created under tight deadlines, and while there is certainly room for improvement, we are pleased with the results. We hope everyone will consider buying one of the shirts.
