Make-A-Wish t-shirt design com­pet­i­tion winner

The win­ning entry in the Hal­len­steins X ProDesign 'Make A Wish' t-shirt competition.

And the win­ner of the inaug­ural Hal­len­steins X ProDesign t-shirt com­pet­i­tion is Wel­ling­ton graphic designer… Andrew Har­bott.

Har­bott has a spe­cial interest in t-shirt design, and has had a num­ber of designs already pub­lished at Threadless.com and Recycleatee.com.

Says Har­bott: “I thought it was a great oppor­tun­ity to cre­ate some­thing fun, unique and wear­able for a good cause. I also wanted to tie the Make-A-Wish Found­a­tion and Hal­len­steins in to the concept. That’s where the idea of the genie in the cool retro sports jacket came in. I kinda like the idea of someone with a bit of atti­tude and per­son­al­ity like 'the Fonz' being a genie, grant­ing wishes to those who need them.”

Fair enough. If you love tees, take a look at some of Harbott's other designs after the jump. If you love tees even more, keep an eye out for our next issue and the t-shirt designs sub­mit­ted by Friends of Design, Fed­er­a­tion, Bro'Town, Cut Col­lect­ive, Inhouse Design, Otis Frizzell, Derek Hende­r­son, Stu­dio Alex­an­der, Shine, Stephen Richard­son, Glennz and Oktober.

'Downs­ized Dreams', com­ing soon to a t-shirt near you. "Times are tough. A recession-inspired graphic," says the designer.

'In The Fast Lane', prin­ted at Thread­less in 2007. "This graphic was inspired by the slot car set I used to have when I was younger. I thought it would be a fun idea to add fully grown adults dressed in full racing gear tak­ing the race very seriously."

'City Roots', prin­ted at Recycleatee.com in 2009. "This graphic was done for a unique cloth­ing line with the emphasis on being envir­on­ment­ally friendly. It’s a simple graphic with a mix of nature vs the urban envir­on­ment in which we live in."

'A Shit Of A Job', unprin­ted. "I’m sure every­body has days like Lou here. By the way this isn’t a reflec­tion on how I feel. I’m gen­er­ally happy, no really, I am."

'King Nep-Tune', com­ing soon to a t-shirt near you. "This is my take on King Nep-Tune. An under­wa­ter legend, com­plete with ori­ginal 1980s elec­tric guitar-fork."
