Doing this T-short design is something different from any of the briefs i have done, as of yet, and i want to put some of my illustarive skills to the test to see how they can be best developed.
I scanned teh images of my desigsn, but wanted to add colour. I researched this and some of the easiest ways to get your submission ready for print or for threadless competiotion is by using specific stages of photoshop to help make the image print ready.
I quite liked this duo image i had sketched out and thought that it would look effective as a patterned print or stand alone mage for the competition so i decieded to go with this design.
The first optoin was to views the image and change the levels so that the black lines where still effective and clear, I then chose to add a colour overlay on my design so that i could see teh definate lines.
I do however really like the design as a simple outline, with the blue as a main section.
Changing the levels on the design:
To change the colour to a colour range I had to select sections to make the design fit with the background. I had to inverse so i could select the white section.
The outline was then removed from a background onto a new layer, which could hen be edited, painted and overlayed as any other layer and each section could be separately ' coloured in'.
Adding colour at this point was something that I didnt want to do. I quite liked how simple the design was created, and it's hand drawn lines etc. But i thought that i could try and add colour to see how the design could look.
This process was a long process. I created a new layer for each section filled in with paint. I then realised that the colour fill was definlaty not working for the type of fianl finish i would of liked.
The design looks effective as one, but maybe as a pattern? on a white t-shrt and outline?
Or as a full colour or a grey t-shirt.
The designing of the illustration, i therefore felt was better produced when it was outlined.
