Final Design

For our class project we were asked to design t-shirts based off of what we think graphic design is. This was not a simple make a single design and iron it on but we took many steps to create our final t-shirt design. We started with making a list of what we personally thought graphic design is and narrowing it down to one. My final thought was that graphic design is “eye catching.”

Next, we were asked to make 24 individual thumbnails of some rough t-shirt designs.

We then began to critique and choose what designs worked and why and what designs didn’t work and why. After this we were assigned to make 36 more t-shirt designs with one single phrase trying to communicate what our thoughts on graphic design is.

After this we narrowed it down to our best design mine was the last design on the first page which is graphic design is eye catching and the design is based off of the design of an eye test chart that can found in the doctor’s office. Below are just a few of many designs created on Adobe Illustrator/ Photoshop. The last one is the design that I used for my final t-shirt. I think the design was simple compared to some of my original thumbnails but was the best as far as the composition.
