Objective: You will be making a one color design to be printed onto a t-shirt.

Please note when making your design:

• Keep your image or message tasteful!

• Use big solid colors, no thin lines, no shadows or outline font styles

• Try to keep graphics high contrast (black or white)

You will be creating your final design on the computer using Adobe Illustrator, the world’s leading vector drawing software. You may NOT jump straight to the computer until you fully brainstormed and sketched your ideas on paper. INSTRUCTOR APPROVAL IS REQUIRED for all steps.

INSTRUCTOR APPROVAL IS NECESSARY!

Introduction – A final printed image takes hours of preparation and planning. A designer follows a specific procedure to create a final product that allows for criticism, change and client approval.

Thumbnail Sketches – Small, quick layout sketches. Generally smaller than the final layout however, shown in approximately in the same proportion.

Rough Sketch – Roughs are detailed sketches of thumbnails that best solved the design problem. Usually one or two thumbnails are made into roughs. A rough more clearly represents the appearance of the finished design. Parallel lines are used to show similar line copy, while large type faces are hand lettered and illustrations are sketched.

Mechanical or Paste Up – Is what the final product will look like. Copy and line art are waxed in place on a white board or combine on the computer and printed out for photographic reproduction. Pictures and halftones were handles separately before the computer, now they are printed together.

Comprehensive Layout – A completed design on illustration board and is the actual size of the finished product. The composition is the master plan for the final design. It has to be checked for size and fit.
