Sparrow T-shirt Design

Here is the design "Brief" (info about the project)

Our client says "Above should be all the pictures you need, the two sayings, the logo, we will add the social media handles in later if your students could work around that, that would be amazing. I'm so thankful you and your class is helping with this. It's great to have others help out for this club and become aware and informed.

(Here's a little about the club)

Sparrow Clubs exist to set the stage for simple, yet heroic, acts of kindness in schools and youth culture by empowering kids to help kids in medical need. A Sparrow Club involves a group of students or an entire school wanting to make a difference in the lives of others. A Sparrow Project begins once a school and a project sponsor are found and matched with a child. We do fundraising and other community service events to help raise money to pay for our Sparrows medical needs and provide comfort and support for the families. 

If your students have any questions concerning the Sparrow Club, have them contact me. Thank you again!"
