Photographing for presentation boards...

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.

Packaging the tees...





Wearing the tees...

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.





Tag, Sticker and Wrapping Development...

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:


Final two chosen Tags:

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.

Wrapping Paper Ideas:













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