Both of my classes this semester will be submitting T-shirt designs to the Welch School of Art & Design (WSAD) and below are the directions I've been given by Jac Kuntz who is Public Relations Coordinator for the School.
"The
above "watermark" (as they call it) is not a logo. It's simply our name
(Ernest G. Welch School of Art & Design) in an approved font. It can
be used with a design or not at all. If students want to make a design
with our name in a new font they have created, that is totally fine too
because it will be considered "artwork." But I have attached it just in
case. I have these in different colors and file formats if you need more
(blue, white, black, and tricolor)

The WSAD T-Shirt PROJECT INSTRUCTIONS
THE DESIGN:
Each designer will create at least 1 Ernest G. Welch School of Art & Design T-Shirt that will be used to promote the School. Of course, you can create as many as you wish. Your design, if chosen, will be used on a T-Shirt and a Tote Bag to promote the Art & Design school.
PRINTED PAPER SIZE:
Please submit 1 design per 11x17 paper. No laser prints. Ink Jet preferably on good paper stock. The design should be on the top half and then place your design on a T-shirt on the bottom half of the paper so the committee can see what it will look like.
To make things easier on you, I would create a design that will work on a white T-Shirt or white Tote bag. Adjustments can be made later if your design is chosen.
SPECIFICS:
You may use the images of Ernest G. Welch or any other original designs you feel might best represent all 11 disciplines: Art Education, Art History, Ceramics, Drawing, Painting and Printmaking, Graphic Design, Interior Design, Photography, Textiles and Sculpture.
DUE DATE:
THURSDAY MARCH 30TH There will not be a critique on this project. We'll pin them up in class on the due date and then all the print designs will go to Jac Kuntz and the committee for them to choose. Keep your digital files ready just in case they ask for them.
Here's a suggested example of the presentation format for printing your work. Image on top and image on a T-Shirt mock up below it. Keep all your files in case your design is chosen and they ask for any changes.
About Ernest G. Welch, Our Benefactor
A long-time resident of Atlanta, Welch earned a business degree from the Georgia Institute of
Technology in 1928. He went on to serve in counterintelligence during World War II and landed
in Normandy at Omaha Beach 10 days after the invasion. He was stationed in France,
Belgium, Luxembourg and Germany, where he took photographs of the war effort.
Welch’s deep interest in photography eventually took him across the globe—
from capturing images of wildlife in Africa to studying under the renowned
photographer Ansel Adams.
Welch’s specialty was platinum palladium prints—a process also used by pioneering
photographers Irving Penn, Paul Strand, Alfred Stieglitz and Edward Weston, among others.
After a decades-long career as a manager for Sonoco Products Company, Welch formalized
his study of photography by enrolling in Georgia State’s art school in his late 80s; he earned
a bachelor of fine arts in photography from the university in 1999. During fall semester 2002,
Welch enrolled in introductory painting and drawing classes to improve his photography skills.
He continued his self-education when he took up digital photography at 102. Welch became
a generous benefactor to the art school and it was named in honor of his generosity
and passion in 2003. View his photographic work in Georgia State’s private library archives.
Ernest and his sister donated $4 million to the School of Art & Design and in 2003 the School
was named in his honor. This year makes the 20th Anniversary celebrating the name change.
