Deaf-Inclusive Apparel Graphics

I’m building an apparel line that celebrates and normalises deaf culture, and I need fresh T-shirt graphics that merge illustration with impactful typography. The visuals should feel modern and wearable while still carrying clear references to deaf identity—ASL hand-shapes, sound wave motifs, or clever wordplay are all welcome so long as they avoid clichés and communicate respect.

Scope
• 3–5 original front-print T-shirt designs delivered as layered, vector-based files (AI or SVG) plus high-res PNG mock-ups.
• Colour palettes limited to a maximum of four spot colours to keep screen-printing costs sensible.
• Full transfer of commercial rights on approval.

Timeline & Process
I need the finished artwork within a month. A simple workflow of concept sketches → first proofs → one refinement round → final files will keep us on track.

Print readiness matters more than fancy presentation, so tidy outlines, expanded strokes, and fonts converted to paths are essential. If you regularly work in Adobe Illustrator or Affinity Designer, this job should feel straightforward.

I’ll provide brand guidelines, preferred slogans, and any reference photos as soon as we get started.

Freelancer must be Deaf or Hard of Hearing or have some relation with the Deaf community.
