This is the shirt I designed for the UFGI for its annual DNA Day event.
One of the events that the UF Genetics Institute participated in each year is known as DNA Day. DNA Day is a nationwide event where faculty and students in masters and PhD programs visit high schools in participating counties to teach interactive workshops about the study of DNA. Several of the Genetics and Genomics PhD students volunteered as Ambassadors to travel to the local schools and teach students about DNA through practical activities. The UFGI created graphics for the event each year, despite it being moved online due to the pandemic.
These were the first few drafts for the shirt design. It was my first time ever designing a t-shirt, and I decided to use the new logo and icons I designed when I rebranded the event. I also made a shirt design for the next year, but we ended up not printing them or pursuing the design because the event was entirely virtual in 2021, rather than hybrid like it had been in 2020.
These were the next versions of the design, after some feedback from my coworkers. The final design can be seen below.
