Techniques for T-Shirt Designs

Video Transcript

"GRACE FRAGA: Hi. Welcome back. And Chantelle and I had a brainstorming session and we came up with a sketch for a future possible design for our t-shirt. So we basically decided what are favorite themes were. I said men, you said... CHANTELLE TIBBS: Well, Grace was like, "I really like men." And I was like, "You know, I really like women." So we created this design and we started playing around with the symbols. Again, this is after several sketches so, like I said before, the average is probably a good 35. You're going to sketch it over and over and over again. If you're designing on a computer, it's going to take a lot of tweaking to get exactly what you want. Does your design have to do with words? Does it incorporate words and pictures, or is it just pictures? And we came up with a design that we thought was very accurate from where we stand. And it is this boy and he's smiling, and then there's a girl who's kind of looking down at his boyhood and she's like, "Oh," and then there's another one that's mad and pulling her away. So you have two female designs running away from a boy, which I felt was cool. And then she was like--she's the girl looking down and she's intrigued by that so it was just our reaction and that's the design we came up with. So we brainstormed and we came up with a design. GRACE FRAGA: And it's kinda like what we were talking about before, when it's some kind of symbolic theme, and that's kind of symbolic. CHANTELLE TIBBS: Literally symbols. GRACE FRAGA: Yes."
