The Piano Man Fundraiser
T-Shirt Design
A custom t-shirt graphic created for a client raising funds to support local artists unable to perform. The design was intended for production through a merch company, with proceeds benefiting musicians in need. The concept centered on a white silhouette of a piano player—inspired by photos of a real local artist—set against a black shirt for a bold, high-contrast look.
A defining feature of the design was the musician’s signature bright red shoes, incorporated as the only pop of color to highlight his recognizable style and personality. The project involved studying the provided reference images and translating them into a clean, striking vector illustration that balanced simplicity with meaningful detail. The final design served as both a tribute to the artist and a creative symbol of community support through music and art.
