This is a blog I have to do for a class I'm taking and thought that I could kill two birds with one stone. I need to post more anyways. So this will be good.
Focus.
I'll be focusing on merchandising apparel. Aside from going to school full time, I design t-shirts (and other kinds of clothing) for merchandising and licensing companies like Urban Outfitters, Hot Topic, Wet Seal, Warner Brothers, blah blah blah. Yes, I said t-shirts. People don't usually think about it, but it really is one of the most common clothing items worn after socks and underwear.
Designing is a really fun job, but takes a lot of thinking and study in areas that you would not normally look into or care about. For example, what color shirts are selling really well this year? What types of designs will girls be looking for in 3 months? Where in the world do the designs you buy in stores even come from? We'll go into all of that.
I'll be posting pictures of illustrations and art I like as well as art that I've done.
Hopefully this turns out well!
I too am an artists, however one not as fortunate to draw for profit! Im always interested in viewing others art and perceptions. Will be looking forward to your upcoming posts with art.
