Day 298



Germany based T-shirt designer and retailer SIQ Clothing have a plan. A Masterplan in fact.
It's pretty top secret, on a need-to-know basis, and I have no business knowing what it is.

But I do.

See what SIQ Clothing don't realise is, their humble and astute colleague Anna is in fact a renegade. She's a tear-away; a double agent working for a rival organisation and she has betrayed the details of the Masterplan by revealing it to me.

Sort of.

Naturally, she couldn't just turn the plan over in broad daylight for fear of being caught with it in her possession. She's had to disguise it within a complex illustration and print it on a T-shirt, to pass it off as an innocent donation to my THREEHUNDREDANDSIXTEEFIVE T-shirt challenge. I'm wearing the tee for Day 298 and as you can see, the high-quality illustration is a convoluted layering of many diagrammatical drawings and sketches scorched by several diagonal red stripes. Somewhere here among the mechanical chaos of engineering and science, lies the components of the Masterplan. All I have to do is decipher which elements I need, decode them, assemble their output, and then... learn what the Masterplan is.
And what it's for.
And what it does.
And what one gains from following it through...

THREEHUNDREDANDSIXTEEFIVE Project

Hi, I’m Andi Best and I’m a regular guy, rising to an irregular challenge.

People tell me I have a lot of T-shirts. These people are not wrong, it’s true, I do.

But one person went as far as to tell me I have so many T-shirts, I could probably wear a different one every day. This is obviously not true, but it got me thinking - what if I could wear a different T-shirt every day? What if I never wore the same T-shirt twice for an entire year?

Challenge accepted

I have created project THREEHUNDREDANDSIXTEEFIVE which, beginning January 1st 2013, will track my pro gress sourcing and wearing a different T-shirt every day for the next 365 days – and I’m going to need your help to do it…
