Information

      For the Halftone Maker Contest, I wanted to create a design that celebrates America's 250th anniversary with a fun, bold, and memorable twist. Instead of a traditional patriotic graphic, I combined iconic American symbols—the Statue of Liberty, the Bald Eagle, and the American flag—into one eye-catching illustration with the phrase "Two Fiddy."

I wanted to honor America's 250-year history with a bold, creative design that people would be proud to wear. Using halftones allowed me to add depth, movement, and a classic vintage look, transforming a simple illustration into a dynamic piece of wearable art that celebrates our nation's heritage.
