The T shirt design

The assignment: design a t shirt that the organization Cal Shakes/California Shakespeare Theater (which produced Midsummer Night's Dream that she and her classmates saw earlier this month) would want to sell.

"I will roar, that I will do any man's heart good to hear." Act 2, scene 2.
