Streetwear Clothing Design

I began by research independent streetwear clothing brands which are shown in the photos. I found that many of the designs we printed on a plain black and white t-shirt and black hoodies. During my research, I also found that they experiment with outlined typography within their designs this is something I should consider within my design. They also use a lot of photos that have had effects placed on them like grain and blue again this is another thing I should consider within my designs. Another thing I found was the designer also place the imagery with a box which is again something I should consider when designing my clothing.

Printing the T-shirt

I also conducted some research into printing services for my clothing items, I found a website called 'Clothes2order'. Which is a website that sells t-shirts in various different sizes as well as colours, then they also have an option to get the t-shirt printed on or embroidered. Then will be perfect as it will allow me to add the designs I produce onto the t-shirt and produced. I also found the more I order the cost per t-shirt reduces. So It would pay me to produce more t-shirt at one time however this would be hard as I have no capital to start. So I would buy one as the customer buys it to ensure I would not lose out on any money. Until I build up some money so then I can order more and increase the profits on my business.
