T-Shirt Design: "Running With a Mission 2024"
I was asked to design the t-shirt for The City Mission’s “Running With a Mission” 5k run and 1-mile walk this year. The City Mission is a crisis and homelessness shelters in Cleveland, Ohio. Their goal is to empower men, women, and children in crisis in order to overcome their unique, complex paths to homelessness. Because no one person’s needs are the same, they create individualized, comprehensive programs to assist residents in building their stabilized and independent futures. Their mission to reach hearts and change lives in Cleveland has not wavered since 1910, and they will continue to provide basic needs, critical recovery resources, and practical paths to a sustainable future to all seeking help and hope there.
The prompt for the t-shirt was to create a design that is attractive, so as to boost participation this year, but still represent The City Mission’s values and the city of Cleveland. In addition, they also wanted to incorporate two other elements — the cityscape of Cleveland and one of Cleveland’s popular nicknames: “The Land.”
