For week 8 I started the creation of my
T-shirts for the live marketing strategy for week 10. As I decide to do a
giveaway on the Friday (20th Nov) I picked to giveaway a T-shirt
rather than an illustration print.
For the first process I drew an
illustration of a female. This was a fine line drawing with thick bold texts.
Once I drew this I needed to get it ready for the screen-printing process. Once
I had got it ready to print I then got my paper to test print with. This part
of the screen-printing went well until I used the T-shirts to print onto. Once
I had printed onto the t-shirt this is where the real problems occurred.
Because the line on my illustrations are that thin they cant push much ink
through when screen printing so once I printed on the t-shirt nothing really
went through it.
After discovering that my illustrations aren’t
thick enough I either needed to create an illustration with a thicker line or
use a different technique to print with. I decided to draw a simple print using
thicker lines. Once I put this through the screen-printing process it turned
out much better and had a professional look. Next week I will develop more
designs this way and print off some more t-shirts ready for my giveaway.
