Directions and Tutorial: T-shirt Design Project
Screen printing Tshirts is at an all time high. Even at FVL there seems to be a new t-shirt for purchase each month. In this project you will research t shirt design and design multiple versions of a t shirt.
You task is 4 fold:
1. Start by researching different types of t shirt designs. Provide a documention with examples of designs that you might like to replicate. Also research what makes a good t shirt design. Place your information into the same document. (5pts)
2. You will produce one idea but design it in multiple ways. Create thumbnails sketches for possible t shirts to create. A set of 6 thumbnails sketches is required. (Included at least design that has text and one that does not have text. ) (10 pts)
3. From your top three designs create t shirts as vector images in Illustrator. Make a couple variations on your design, including one that follows the "Big Dot Effect" Tutorial found here. Include a background that looks like a t shirt. Submit the files as pdf files. (15pts)
4. Portfolio - Insert all documentation and imagery into the portfolio. Reflect on the entire process. (5pts)
