I am currently designing my presentation boards to show the journey of my resolution and the final pieces. I plan to included photographs of the final product in a range of contexts. These are a possible images that I will use on the boards.
These are the first photos of someone wearing my t-shirts! Yesss. I feel a sense of accomplishment, however I can also see a few negatives and things I would do in order to improve them. For example I would like to try one colour prints in the future. I really enjoyed two colour but for a first time attempt I found this rather time consuming and a challenge. If I am to pursue t-shirt design and silkscreen printing I would like to be able to generate more using time more effectively. I feel the quality of the product produced is at a hight level and looks and feels like a tee you would purchase in a shop. Obviously it is each to their own and not every one would like my style but I feel they are reasonably professional. I would perhaps play a bit more with scale and try to incorporate my logo into my design next time. I still have my screens and plan to use them a bit more yet and may try onto a coloured material. I have also managed to get some nice paper prints out of them.
I wanted to extend my brief slightly by thinking about adding a tag and possible packaging. At the moment I want to keep it very minimal with a simple tag then wrapped in a plain tissue paper. I think I would then like to seal it with a sticker somehow too. Not too sure what the sticker will be yet though... Below are my tag designs:

I have also been considering what else might be on the tag. I don't want to get too caught up in a design and then cluttering it with info on the back too, so I've kept it simple and reasonably plain with a design on one side and my Liv Logo on the other side. Possible info I might consider including would be a barcode and size of the tee. I shall keep them strictly to two colour and possibly make them the same colours as the designs on the tees.

I'm quite excited about printing the stickers because it means that I get to play with the new vinyl cutter!
