"GRACE FRAGA: So now Chantelle and I are going to brainstorm and create a design together for our t-shirts. CHANTELLE TIBBS: Yeah. This part's really cool. A good friend of mine once told me, she said, "Don't show anybody anything until you've sketched 35 samples." That's a lot... GRACE FRAGA: Wow. CHANTELLE TIBBS: ...and that's coming from somebody who does it for a living. So sit down and sketch out 35 samples. Trust me, it's going to take you a little while, especially if you're doing something that's more artistic. But right now, I just want to show you how the process goes about... GRACE FRAGA: Oh, okay. CHANTELLE TIBBS: ...and just how easy it can be. So let's talk about--first of all, let's pick our color scheme. GRACE FRAGA: Okay. CHANTELLE TIBBS: What colors do you like? GRACE FRAGA: You know what colors I like. CHANTELLE TIBBS: Red? GRACE FRAGA: Orange. CHANTELLE TIBBS: Orange. GRACE FRAGA: It's my favorite color. CHANTELLE TIBBS: Okay. So she likes orange and I happen to be a fan of light blue. GRACE FRAGA: So, what do our t-shirts are going to be? CHANTELLE TIBBS: I know. GRACE FRAGA: Orange and light blue, which is actually a great combination. CHANTELLE TIBBS: That is a really, really... GRACE FRAGA: It's very pretty. CHANTELLE TIBBS: ...really good combination. Now, let's talk about some things that really-- that we find inspiring. GRACE FRAGA: Okay, let's see. Men? CHANTELLE TIBBS: Oh, okay. Okay. So do we want our design to be something that's more drawn or do we want it to be more literal, like literary? GRACE FRAGA: Hmm. CHANTELLE TIBBS: Let's think about that one for a while. GRACE FRAGA: Maybe, I'm inclined to do kinda like a symbolic drawing. CHANTELLE TIBBS: Okay."
