TSHIRT DESIGN UNIT 78

TSHIRT DESIGN

We had been given a project based around tshirt printing which instantly got me excited as this is my main interest in the creative industry and is something Ive been looking at in my spare time for a while now. I began by thinking up ideas for a theme and target audience almost instantly. the out come of the project was to have a completed shirt and a range of designs under a brand ID.

.mythology

.hiphop

Brand names:

.cut and run

.champagne taste beer wage

.Spirits and wines (like ghosts and shit but also alcohol)

.Caesar

.Mutiny

.limerance

I began by looking at one of my all time favourite brands Skull And Bones Boys Club for inspiration as theyve blended a mix of hardcore and hiphop themes into there designs creating an amazing variation an clothing.

Above are some of SABBCs newest releases, aswell as clothing they have aslo  created acessories such as combs, straight razors and candles all under their brand ID

This lead me to look at brands that also hit the alt market

from all the designs I looked at Gnarwolves was one of my favouries for its simplicity and catoony feel for the CRU so I decided to  look into similar font styles

I liked how this slimy font was both comical and grim at the same time  as it was what I wanted my clothing to look like.

I eventualy set on the brand name mutiny skate wear as the term mutiny seemed quite fitting (to overthrow your masters yada yada yada...)

I drew the initial logo with the start of the M and Y being extended and turned the T into an inverted cross because satanism and cults are whats in these days I guess. once the logo was complete I decided to make a series of colour ways and paterns for MuTinY skate wear.

I just remembered I cant skateboard so now its MuTinY street wear. Okay? yea thats cool...

Nope.

Nope.

No.

Its not central.

you cant center even letters.

especialy if the T is in the middle.

 new name!

Turmoil street wear! because confusion and mass hysteria are also cool.

  

After finaly setteling with Turmoil I began to make designs for it (unfortunatly a mix of both blogger and my usb being as usefull as a jelly hammer this is the only picture that will upload) I created two designs one of a church up in flames and one of micky  mouse in Turmoil cloting. both of these designs would have to be printed comercialy as they were far to complex to print myself.

ThePrintingProcess:

we began printing  our garments with stencil printing where we would place our printouts under the semi transparent sticker, cutting it out, placing the sticker on the garment and dabbing ink over it with a sponge. 

cutting out

sticker in place!


layering up the ink

make it extra KVLTy by inverting some crosses

Now were the absolout **** out of it and watch as the girls want you and guys want to be you!
