T-Shirt Design: QR code

This is the QR code for my Facebook page!

Website coming soon!

I also have a twitter page for tshitz - www.twitter.com/tshitzclothing

Created the QR code using an internet page where you can type your internet address in and it will create a QR code for you. This is so helpful because I can make one for my website when I have set it up!! This image can go on posters, business cards, anywhere! My target audience will be able to easily connect with me and my webpages using this.

T-Shirt Design: Making tags for my garments

I've lost the will to live this evening as I've been drawing and cutting out each "tshit" individually from black card...kill me now! The things I do for college :D really happy with them overall though, worth the effort. Just need some ribbon to attach them to the garments and I also need to write on the white card a few words about the brand and how to look after the t-shirt to keep the design intact.

vital info to include:

- wash at a low temp

- iron on reverse

"Thanks for purchasing a tshit!

We hope you love your tshit, here is how to take care of it...

- wash at low temps

- iron on reverse

enjoy!"

-or-

"Thanks for purchasing a tshit!

Don't forget to wash at low temps and iron on reverse to keep the design intact :)

Size ______ £_____

Enjoy!"

T-shirt Design: First real print!

So on Wednesday I went into town to get my first design printed up! I got it printed on a white crop top from H&M which cost me £1.99. The print cost £8 for one side and an additional £5 for the other side, which would make the top cost £15 as an absolute minimum, without making any profit :/ So perhaps it's not the best idea to have the small "tshitz" printed on the back, and instead have it printed really small on the front in the bottom right corner, similar to the other t-shirt designs.

Really happy with how it turned out, the staff at the printing shop were really friendly and I can get a discount if I bulk order, which is really good! Now all I need to do is sell some...

I'm definitely going to keep this top for myself as it's the original print and cost a lot, meaning I wouldn't be able to sell it for a profit even if I wanted to. So this will be mine! I've been wearing it around the house and I've even worn it to a gig in Sheffield to try and drum up some interest! There are now two people who'd like to purchase a tshit! Result!

T-Shirt Design: printing!

So we printed our designs at college, which proved harder than I thought. It was quite stressful trying to cut out the curves as I didn't want to mess up, but I really liked the final outcomes! Here are a few pictures of my first attempt at printing.

Really like this! Going to replicate it in some other colours on other tops

Really like this as well, I think it's the faded out colour around the stencil that I like best

I don't like this as much as the outline version, maybe it's the colour that puts me off though? I don't dislike it though, just not as good

I didn't finish this as it was still wet when we finished our session, but I don't really like it anyway, I think there's too much colour so nothing really stands out :/

This is my glitter shit! I printed it in pink and then poured glitter on it and pressed the glitter down to compact it so it would stick. Obviously this wouldn't be able to be washed as the glitter would come off, so it would have to be purely a display piece.

T-shirt Design: Design ranges concept sheets

Really happy with these, they're simple and not too crowded, and I like how bold they are, each part stands out.

T-shirt Design: Concept sheets for t-shirts and hoodies

Initial concept sheet with just the brand names on, with both the rounded corners and the square corners. Started off with these in black and white and then branched out into simple colours and a choice of horizontal or vertical text. I decided I prefer the rounded corners, so my coloured designs have only the rounded corners design.

I like the colours on the black t-shirts as I think it stands out more, but if I were to print the the text myself onto black t-shirts then it wouldn't show up, therefore I would have to get these professionally printed. In fact, I prefer the coloured text on the black t-shirts much better than the white text on the coloured t-shirts, but obviously this would be down to customer preference.

Some simple layouts on white hoodies, I think I'd prefer the text to be along the sleeve or across the back

Concept sheet for hoodie designs, only with the brand name

Concept sheets showing 10 best designs on black and white t-shirts. Quite basic designs but only printed on one side, which would make it cheaper to get professionally printed. Also, with a lot of time and effort I could print these myself on white t-shirts, but they wouldn't be as good as if they were printed professionally. However printing them myself would give them a more individual touch.
