Designing

I design the t-shirts on an A3 landscape sheet with an outline of the front and back of the t-shirt on a seperate layer so I can see how it looks as a t-shirt as I go along. The designs below are the A3 designs which I will digitally print and then cut the t-shirt pattern out of.

T-shirts!

Decided after doing a few designs that they would be best suited to being a collection of quirky oversize designer t-shirts. The ones below are on the pattern I created which has a dropped hem at the back and I have been using this pattern as a template when designing as many of my prints are engineered. Think I am aiming for three collections altogether; Central Symmentry, Vertical Strips and Large scale crystals with 15 designs in each. Better get designing!

Better late than never!

Been intending to start a blog for a while now to show the journey my final project has taken since I began it at the start of 2012. Since that never happened I will finally start my blog with my inspiration for my project which I have titled..

Crystallised Microscopy

 These are images of microscopic organisms taken at Clifton campus under a microscope

After looking at my microscopic images for a long time and struggling to draw from them I decided I needed more inspiration so continuing down the science route I took photos of crystals at various museums.

And this is a mood board I created to sum up my project so far. Inspiration, drawings, contextual and colour palette. Mary Katranzou and Basso and Brooke have been hugely inspiring to my project.
