T-Shirt Templates, Inspiration, and Due Dates

It was requested that I post a template for you to begin to mock up your tees on, so here it is. Also, Barbara compiled some resources for inspiration on the project, so check those out below. Lastly, I just wanted to remind you to have more thumbnails for Wednesday, and that the final shirts must be in by October 6th - that is officially in a week and a half. Happy problem solving and see you all soon
