Official Hot Pepper Taster Tee

This is a design I did as part of a presentation for a Tea and Spice company. They were looking for apparel to add to their stores, so I took a more retail approach focusing on something I thought would appeal to customers: the challenge of eating a very spicy pepper! I set up the type in Illustrator, then took it into photoshop and hand distressed it with a sponge brush, adding grain and splatters to simulate a vintage print. I finished up with a drawn image of a pepper tonally in the background. 2 colors on distressed garment.
