Todays work - 25th november

In todays lesson, i got out my stencil to cut out, and started cutting it out, but then i thought about it and i realised it was only going to be done with one colour, which was red, but i thought thats just to plain, so i changed my idea and made it so i have two colours red and black, black being the writing and red for the blood drips. so i went and found steve, so print me of another stencil so i would for both colours. I finally did all that and it came to the end of the lesson.

Todays work - monday 23rd nov.

Today we wrote down all what was going to happen through the week.

then we wrote on a purple sheet of what we needed to do over the week, that we will get done.

lastly i went on my blog , and updated everything i needed to get done, and i got it all done apart from one thing , which i am happy about. so that went well and im glad.

i dont think i could have done anything differently, i did all what i needed and wanted to do to get done, so thats what im quite happy about.

tommorows work i will do my photoshop design, as i need to get that done, printed of so then i can do the stencil and make my t-shirt design.

overall i thought it was a good lesson, and i learnt alot and got things done.

Research and PowerPoint/Keynote.

'News night special on blood sweat and T-shirts'

Watching the video, two girls are interviewed from when they went to the country of where all cheap clothes are made. the girls who went there said it really changed the way they think and feel about the cheap clothes they wear because of how they are made, and how little money the people who make them get and also how much hard work they put into the clothe making.

The girls being interviewed were saying how weird it was to see all the workers in a small room, being all hot and stuffy, they had to look twice to actually realise that these people were making the clothes they wear, which they wasn't taking any care in.

The major brands don't want to be associated with the the very poor practices. there not doing business where the factories are in conditions where they really aren't acceptable.

Primark on the Rack.

this video shows how all the people in the shop just go crazy when there is a new store opening, and also how people are saying they'll go in to primark wear it a few times then just throw it away because its so cheap they don't care. someone also said that they went and bought something came home and realised they already had it, which show how careless people are about buying cheap clothes. when they clearly don't know how its all being made.

One thing also about this video is one item of clothing in primark was selling for £18, it was that popular, it was selling on ebay up to £175!

3 different campaigns for different people.

T-shirt design idea 1 should be a campaign that would improve the quality of your OWN LIFE.
what i said for this was, to make the week shorter at college so monday to thursday, then weekends longer so end thursday so you have friday saturday and sunday off.
T-shirt design idea 2 should be a campaign that would have a positve impact on the lives of OTHERS.
Free bus pass, all over cambridge for students.
It would be useful for students becuase if they got the train to college they could get the bus to college so there not late, or if its a cold day they could just get the bus.
This is relevent to the target audience becuase it only refers to students.

T-shirt design idea 3 should be a LIGHT-HEARTED OR HUMOROUS campaign - something that will make people SMILE.
Free lollies! its not really a worthwhile campaign it just makes people smile.

My Design

For my design, what inspired me to do it was i always the word 'sweet', its just a phrase that's stuck in my head and it sounds kind of cool, and its pretty random, so i liked it as I'm pretty random too! then i realised i loved sweets a lot and I'm so addicted to them, so this gave me the idea of the lolly to put under the word sweet.

I quite like my design i think it could be pretty successful. its not something i love a lot, i just think it's pretty good because it has one big bold word then the lolly which has the colour in it.

For the connotations, it makes me think of flavour of the lolly, i.e a strawberry flavour. also its quite playful with the colour and phrase of text.

The design i think goes quite well with the age group, but for someone who is quite indie and different with what they wear, that who i think would wear it at that age.

My design could definatly be improved. Its not a great design that i love, Its just a cool funky design i just chose to do because i liked the idea. so yes i do think there could be improvements.

Banksy

Uk street artists called Banksy. is necessity, one of the anonymity. His work is currently seen around the planet. the exception though is that no one is sure who he actually is. There have been a fair few claims to his true identity but none have ever been definate to date.

who is banksy? We don't know at all who he is or his name, but we know his art work is from a passionate individual. So what do we actually know about banksy? The art of his paintings, stencils and other pieces of art relate to serious social issues. his work creates a sence of humour, making it possible that you will probably laugh, or cast your eyes on it and really look at it in detail.

My Design and 3 other design's in the group.

These photos here show my design i made for the T-shirt. i chose this because i thought i always say the word 'sweet' and its kind of just random and something i always say i thought ill use it. then i remembered i always eat sweets, i love them , and they obviously have the same word for different meanings. so i thought this seemed pretty creative, ill use them and put them together somehow, and i did.

3 other designs that other people did that i liked the best.

There are 3 designs that 3 different people did in my group. these are the 3 i liked the most.

i think they are all pretty successful designs, they all do have things they could improve on them i.e the top left one is quite plain, it could have more of a design to it. secondly the top right design could have it more eye catching, its quite a loud saying on it 'go crazy' you would have thought it would have more of a bigger design to it. so that could be one change for the design. lastly the bottom design. It's a good design and i like it. to be honest there's not much i would change about it, maybe a big more bolder , but apart from that nothing else.

These 3 designs all go for the right target audience we were meant to go for, 16 to 19 year old students. the top right photo is more for a girl i think, and the top left, but the bottom photo would be quite a unisex design for a T-shirt, which is pretty creative.

overall they are 3 good designs that would be successful.
