"Graphic Design: '4H' T-Shirt Design Contest"

THE PROJECT: We have been working on a ton of graphic design "problems" this semester and a contest is available for students to design a "4H Club" T-Shirt for a student. The student is willing to offer a CASE of soda of the choice of the winning designer. Students that do not drink soda may substitute another drink of their choice of a similar value.
