Sell T-Shirts that people wear to express their passion
I want to create a bunch of different t-shirts that are very simple. The design should be just a word and a simple styled image of a person performing the action. The consumers of these t-shirts will be serious athletes and they will be both male and female so the design should be gender agnostic.
For example, 1 t-shirt may say namaste with someone doing a yoga pose.
Another example, 1 t-shirt may say Groove with someone dancing as if they are at a concert.
Here is a list of the different expressions that I would like to start with. I am just launching this endeavour and will need many more t-shirts to come. So, whoever comes up with the best design will be used for future designs to make sure there is consistency in the shirt designs.
With that said, the t-shirts should all follow a similar look and feel. The text should be sans serif like Arial.
List of expressions:
Namaste.
Groove.
Ballet.
Run.
Swim.
Cycle.
Below are 2 examples of what I am thinking about.
Example 1: This is example of just a design without text.

Example 2: Another cool design with text. I am not that excited about the font in this one. I would like something that is sans serif like arial. And I like the period at the end of the word. In fact, I think I would like the text style to be exactly the same across all designs.

As you can see from the list of expressions. The demographics will vary greatly depending on the expression.
The website I am launching is called http://www.expressionals.com. I am planning on making this a really cool website and make it viral so I am looking for the designs to be hip and cool.
