New Interlude T freshly printed.

Professional Project

My PP is well under way now. T-shirts are all printed and looking good and yesterday manged to get the first few shoots of the models wearing the clothes. Hang tags are designed and I just need to sort materials and print them.

Can't decide how to print onto the box yet, I have samples of different cloth but which to use?

All on track at the moment. Going to start building the website today.

Professional Project.

Research for my professional project is coming along well. I have ordered samples boxes to decide on size and shape, and at the moment I am working on hang/swing tags. Found some excellent card with is recycled and I am using as post consumer waste.

Managed to get into the screen printing room yesterday and start a few test prints for box/t-shirts. I have already printed some T's back home but want to experiment with some screen printing.

My work today, besides finishing of my D & AD project is to decide on sizes for the hang tags and look into foil embossing, I am thinking to dry letterpress the tags and then foil onto this. I am also considering covering the box in cloth or leather. I do know that this is quite a task but I think I may try one today and see what all the fuss is about!

Onwards and upwards.
