Contest Brief

I have three clear photos of Xavier—our 2026 graduate—and I need a full set of traditional, classic designs built around them. His school colors are already visible in the cap and gown, so those shades must guide the entire color palette. Please weave in a cap-and-gown graphic and the school emblem or logo so every piece feels proudly official. I added the School mascot.
You don't have to use all three pictures but if you can, that's fine just want something that looks very nice
I’m looking for three main themes:
• “Senior 2026” featuring Xavier’s image and name
• “Congratulations, Grad!” spotlighting him as the star of the class
• “Proud Mom & Dad of the Graduate” so his parents can show their pride

Each theme has to translate cleanly onto four products—shirts, pillows, mugs, and hand fans—so layout flexibility is essential. Think of one master design per theme that can be resized or slightly rearranged for each item without losing detail or balance.

For printing, I’ll need:
• High-resolution (300 DPI) transparent PNGs for direct-to-garment and sublimation
• Vector files (AI or EPS) so I can scale the artwork for larger merch runs
• Color-profile consistency with the school palette
• Fonts converted to outlines or packaged

Once we finish, I’ll test-print samples; if anything doesn’t sit perfectly on the product edges or bleeds, one revision round should tidy it up.

If you’re comfortable creating polished, timeless graduation graphics and can turn around the first drafts quickly, let’s get started—I’m excited to see Xavier’s moment come to life across all this keepsake merch.
