T Shirt Designs ^_^










To start off with my t shirt design that i will be making i wanted to start of with a very stylish/sleek look that is both bold and powerful but also gets the attention of peoples eyes when they see it. I myself am a very big fan on dark colours especially with t shirts so the the 3 i selected with the same design but with different colours took to my liking very much. What i also liked about this design is that its of a panda which are usually calm, peaceful, it shows a very aggressive or dangerous side to them which just adds to the character of the shirt. Also the way the pandas face is displayed on different colours back grounds fits very well to the colour chosen like how white is a bland colours and kind of fades out of sight the close up panda shot brings it back to life and noticeable.

For this next design i also like it a lot due to its simplisity and its just two colours that blend in together very well but also adds a image out of one of the colours that may not have been noticed.

This next one is also of a simple black and white shirt but adds little red which brings focus to it and also brings the shirt to life which with out probably wouldn't be noticed as much. I wouldn't mind doing something like this for my self where i simply have a stylish but casual top but with maybe different hints of colours here and there to mix it up and keep it different.

I also uploaded some other pictures of some simple, bland nothing to special, bright or bold but also have the effect thats needed. What really brings these shirts to life is the quirky pictures thats added which is off one of my favourite YouTubers Seananners who has his own clothing line. I already posted a blog about him and some of his career. Blog on Seananners.

Looking at some other features to have on a t shirt i thought about adding a pocket on the chest above the heart which i got the idea from when looking at various designs. This photo also happens to be none of Seananners which i thought brought the most character. Its not just the pocket that i like about this but also the colours used, which rant usually what i would go for but green being my favourite colour i really took to it and was thinking about maybe doing something like this myself.

Looking at various designs and patterns on the thousands of designer t shirts out there i found this one which particularly stood out to me which is because it is very similar to an idea what i had where i would have a lock design/pattern on the right side and half of my chest with the lock bar/pole going along the body, up the heart and around the neck and reaching down the back ending with either a open lock or a locked one with the bar locked in.

Carrying on with the theme of random designs i came across this very simple but effective and kind of beautifull blue eagle or bird that is spread out across the back and left shoulder coming across the chest. What mainly made me like this was the colours how the designers used a simple white back ground but used these great,bright colours with a range of blue shades that mixed well with the random white feathers and the pristine silver or grey beak and the bright golden with tints of yellow and a dark black eye. While searching for random fun pictures i found this black, gold, yellow and white shirt which reminded me a lot of Alice And Wonderland which i kind of got mad hatter look and feel to it which i like as it would look good in every day wear which gives both a formal look but also brings a casual appearance.
This third picture is of a funny random and confusing design which definitely makes you look again. It is just a simple design with colours just being of white,black,red and grey but the thought and idea behind really amazed me which made me want to maybe take a few idea from it like how its such a powerfull top but at the same time so simple. These three shirt designs are very different to what i would usually wear and don't really have any thing in common with the original tops that i talked about, apart from how stunning they look and how swagger they are.
I also thought about maybe adding text to it so i researched and found this design which i feel has a really bold message to it and makes you want to read what it says, which i think is because of maybe the colours used which were black and red that already go really well together. But if i did use something like this as my text i definitely would make it smaller and probably have it by the bottom maybe either on the stomach or just on the waist, with my picture design and logo above.

Looking at some of the more common or populer logos in the world i started thinking maybe having one for myself but I'm still stuck and can't decide on one but with more research and drawings i may come to grounds with one. After looking at brands like Nike, Apple and Lloyds I thought about coming up with a design that like the t shirts is just simple, sharp and effective that people would be able to recognise. One of the main basic ideas that i had was having a plain but stylish top with maybe either my name or my snapchat username which i use most often in box around the bottom near the waist, or on one of the shoulders. As i have already mentioned i liked the idea of having chains crossing and wrapping around my body as if to simbolis being trped,chained in or being tied up un able to move. I dont really know why i liked that idea so much i just did maybe because its unuseuall and not really a commond thing for t shirt designs. Also maybe an image of some sorts to go on the chest or on the shoulder above the heart.

Besides my research for some t shirts and also thought about jumpers or hoodies which i got the idea from when i looked at some idea when i went on to the Seananners online shop.

Besides coming up with ideas for an every day top i was thinking and designing some ideas for a sports top for hot weather or just general activity that can make you sweat. I especially like the idea of having some sort of pading under the arms for the armpits with some sort of cooling free flow wind access for a numerous reasons like getting fresh air, more comfort and a different style look to it.

Interactive Media

Interactive Media- Mobile Networking and interactive funcutions.

I have decided to test or survey the way the common phone works or in this case my own IPhone 4 and what the social media, apps, games and many other funchuntions like siri and built in setting are like to use and how well they funtion. Well the over all performance is usually good depending on if you have got a virus, little memory or just poor connections. One of the great things about Apple's Iphone is the user interface which in my opinion is the best out of off all of the other phones. The messageing and calling apps are very good and are easy to use. Most of the apps are also good and are very easy to download given that they are not badly designed or broken. Connecting with others couldnt be any easyier as there are so many ways to do so like a range of social apps, styem connections and a clever feature call Face time which lets you talk on the phone with someone else but instead of holding it to your ear you both talk through the webcam which is essentially being in their commpany with out having to be there, saving you time, money and saving you from getting out of bed, which is great if you have to travel alot to see people. In my time finding out and exploring the iphone 4 it is a good phone and rarely needs updates or patches. The Target audience hasn't really got a age require as for teenagers and adults its more the case of getting one when affordable or want one. But for younger children they usually are allowed or get one when parents or carers get them one. The text through out the many apps is usually very simple and stylish and can also be converted into a emoji keyboard. The sound is also great as it can be changed in settings so as not to loud or quiet. After changing the volume there is also a numerous of ringtones to change that are either already installed and ready to use or ready to be downloaded from stores or other places. Navigation is really easy and finding the images app is also simple to do, to browse through memories and funny moments that you may have captured. The over all strength of the find in my opinion is that its really easy to use and the user interface is by far the best of all other devices. The main weaknesses of the device would have to be the iTunes store where downloading and setting up a iTunes account can be both mentally painful and very confusing at times in situations like passwords and security.

I also asked people what they thought about the iPhone and mobile networking and listed the results below.

Health and safety

Health and safety is a very important part and essential need when working with razors, hot glue guns, plyers, wire and scissors. 

When cutting and sizing up the grey boards for our sets i had to use razor blades to cut which meant i needed to use protecive gloves so as not to cut my fingers or hands.

When making the wire frame modles i used goggles to protect my eyes in case of metel snaped of and flew at my face and or anybody else. Plyers were also need to cut the wire so gloves again were needed as the ends of wires could be sharp and because of the chance to again cut myself.

Surrealism

Surrealism is an artistic and literary movement, dedicated to expressing the imagination as revealed in dreams, free of the conscious control of reason. Surrealism inherited an anti-rationalist sensibility from Dada, and was shaped by emerging theories on our perception of reality. Also a 20th-century art form in which an artist or writer combines unrelated images or events in a very strange and dreamlike way. Mainly originated in the 1900's. Surrealism was first defined by André Breton in the Surrealist Manifesto of 1924. Andre Breton was the founding father of surrealism.
