I originally created this piece for an art class.  I uploaded it to a web folder that contained essays and other homework.  Although technically available to the world, I never imagined this folder would attract any attention.  Imagine my surprise when I found the image displayed on the web page of a German technical university and the t-shirts of Baylor University’s School of Engineering and Computer Science.  Odd to think a bunch of kids in Texas are walking around with my head on the back of their shirts.

  When my roommate ran for student senate, I agreed to make the posters. He did not have a campaign platform, but he did have a hairy chest. Unfortunately, we did not actually shave "VOTE 4 AARON" into his chest, so I had to use Adobe Photoshop. The poster was convincing enough that friends made him raise his shirt to see the damage. Aaron won the race by a large margin.

  Full color glossy prints are not always available or affordable. Luckily, a simple ad can be very effective. Just after launching a new text book selling website, I covered my campus with three hundred ads printed on colored computer paper.
  I had sixteen different versions, all with the same layout, but different slogans. I hung the posters in groups of four, mixing informative and humors slogans together.
  After two weeks, one fourth of the student body had visited my site. One student, who I did not know, found me in the cafeteria and asked if I had extra posters. She and her friends thought the different posters were so clever that they were collecting one of each to decorate their rooms.

  T-shirts are surprisingly cheap and effective ways to advertise. This fun t-shirt was a big hit and helped advertised the many activities the club participates in. A well designed T-shirt will stick around for years and make everyone wearing it a spokesman.
