Range Plan

 

These are my final designs for my t-shirt range.

The first t-shirt design I made was one of my print experiments made into a full t-shirt. The reason for this was because full print t-shirts are popular in high street stores, therefore hitting the target market I am after which would be ages 16-19.

The second design I made in black and white. This was a choice I made because it can be hard to find something to pair with a coloured t-shirt so making the t-shirt black and white would allow the cutomer to pair the t-shirt with other clothes/colours.

The third design was a statement t-shirt. The slogan "Jesus fucking christ" has been written in white above Jesus on the cross this is a very big statement which would allow the customer to have a shock factor to the t-shirt they are wearing therefore drawing attention to them and what clothes they are wearing.

The fourth t-shirt was a print design put on a t-shirt. This would again suite my target market because the colours are not too vibrant therefore would not take too much away from the rest of their outfit yet they would be able to still have a statement t-shirt.

The next design was again just to fit into the customers wardrobe easier as it is again black and white.

This last t-shirt was the one that stood out the most. This would fit the target market I am after as people at the age of 18 that do not agree with religion and there views on gay people would be able to wear this and show that they do not agree with what religion says, the slogan "Fuck religion" has been written at the bottom of the t-shirt. This would make a big impact onto society as it is not acceptable to usually bash religion in public. Therefore this is a statement t-shirt.

Customer Profile

Customer Profile.

The customer I am aiming for would be around the age of 18. They would be a Student yet they would work in a place such as Topshop/Topman, River Island etc. They would have no children and they would live a apartment or a small house that they shared with their friends. They would go on holidays once a year and this would be to the likes of Amsterdam or Budapest. They would also go to music festivals such as Leeds or Download.

They would shop in many different stores that range from high end fashion shops to charity shops, This would be so that they could find one of pieces or clothes that they could wear again. They would shop both online and instore as they would try to find offers or discounts online and one off pieces however they would still go to local shops and charity shops. They would be either very on trend or have a style of their own. They would never buy something because of the brand name as they would only buy things that they would enjoy to wear. They would buy both for occasion and casual wear ad they would like to buy new clothes all the time. They would have no spending backer because if they wanted something they would save up to make sure that they had enough money for it.

Their favourite designer would be the likes of Alexander McQueen, Versace, Iris Van Herpen etc. They would read the likes of Vogue and Elle to be on the Fashion know. They would admire celebrities such as Lady Gaga her crazy Fashion and her amazing music. They would hate people that wear things because of the brand for example only wearing something because it has a designer name yet it could be ugly. 

This is the type of customer I would hope to buy the t-shirt range I am creating.

Satan is God

For this design I have taken a painting of God and I have taken a painting on Satan that I painted and put it as the head I have then put clouds in the background representing heaven and then written on the bottom "SATAN IS GOD" 

I have not used any colour scheme for this as there was not one I could have decided on. This was made using secondary and primary resources and the painting of Stan was done by myself. I used Photoshop again for this to cut around the head of the painting to fit onto the body of God. However, I do not think this experiment worked very well as the head of the painting is too big for the body so it doesn't go very well. If I could change anything I would change The body I used and also I would have re-shapen the head.

Pope as Satan

For this design I have taken a picture of the pope and I have put horns onto him representing that he is Satan, also if you look closely at his left hand there is a marking of the Illuminati. 

There was no colour scheme needed for this as it was just adding things onto the Pope. I only used secondary sources for this design. I again used Photoshop to cute around the horns and the fins a effect to make the Illuminati symbol blend into his skin and it now looks like a burn, like he has been branded by the Illuminati. I think that this design is a neutral design as it is not the best but it is not the worst. I particularly like the Illuminati symbol on his hand as again it looks like he has been branded by the Illuminati and this would be a big this as he is one of the most powerful people alive as he is believed to be Gods messenger and he controls a lot in Religion. This also stands for the devil horns because he is such a big person in Christianity it would be wrong for him to be Satan as he would be evil and not good like God.

Eat Acid, See Satan

For this design I have taken two pictures of a upside down pentagram representing Satan and Satanism and I have positioned them where a girls boobs would be, I have then wrote "EAT ACID SEE SATAN" underneath that. I then took a picture of the Rolling Stoned tongue and out a tab of acid onto it. This is representing that drugs are sent by Satan as this is what many believe.

These is no colour scheme for this as there is hardly any colour apart from the tab of acid and the tongue itself. I used secondary sourced for this design. I again used Photoshop to position all the pictures for the t-shirt. I am happy with this design as even though it is minimalistic it is a nice design and would sell on a t-shirt. If I was to change anything I would make the acid tab blend into more and be less square and out of place.

Jesus in hell

This experiment is one of my favourite that I created. For this experiment I have put Jesus on the cross being burnt in front of stained glass however in the background behind Jesus is the shadow of Satan. This was to inter-prate that when Jesus was tortured and killed on the cross it was the work of the Devil and that is why there is fire as a representative of Hell.

This print was arranged to look like Jesus is being burnt and being "dragged down to hell" by the flames. The shadow of Satan is also a representative of evil as what happened to Jesus was evil and the work of Satan some may say. I have used a dark colour scheme as the shadow takes up a lot of the background however the flames and the stained glass give the design some colour. I think that the design blends in and each aspect is looked at, not one is too overpowering. This design was done using secondary sources. To make this I used Photoshop and I layered each item in the picture to fit the way it has. The shadow of Satan was done by using a cartoon drawing of Satan and using a different effect to make it darker therefore looking like a shadow. I think that this design has worked well as when I imagined it this is what I thought it would look like, in particular I really like the shadow of Satan as it is a big part of the design yet it is subtle and not too obvious when you first look at the design also it represents evil in religion. 

Jesus in Drag

For this experiment I have a famous painting of Jesus and I have put a lavender wig and red lips onto him I have also covered his eyes and put homophobic slurs in the background. It has been set out like this to make it look like Jesus is dressed as a woman (A Drag Queen) and as being gay is considered a sin in the Catholic religion this would be a sin towards god and as he is the son of God this makes a big statement. The Homophobic slurs in the background are to represent what would be said to Jesus by homophobes if he was seen like this.

I haven't really used any colour scheme for this print as there was no need to add much colour and as the background is plain text writing it brings more focus onto the main picture of Jesus. For this I used Secondary sources. Again I used Photoshop to layer the wig and lips onto Jesus I also used a paint tool to paint on pink blusher onto his cheeks. I am really happy with this design as it makes a really big statement about religion and how they react to sexuality. If I was to develop anything it would be to add more slurs into the background of the design. 

Hell is Earth

For this experiment I have taken a picture of Earth and turned it red, I then put the satanic symbol on top and wrote "HELL IS EARTH" underneath. The reason for the red earth was because the colour red is usually symbolised with the Devil and hell it is also the colour of blood so it could be seen as the world is covered in blood or that earth is literally hell.

The colour scheme for this was black and red because again red is associated with hell and the devil and black is the darkest colour you can get. Again I used secondary sources for this design. I also again used Photoshop to put the writing onto the earth and also to find the right effect to make the earth turn red. This is one of my least favourite designs as it very simple and plain HOWEVER it has many different meanings for example the text "HELL ON EARTH" could be taken literally as in some places of the earth some people are living in a hell as a example people who are homeless, people who are poor and living in slums, people who are slowly dying of disease or even people who are depressed/suicidal. This design has a hidden meaning depending on how your minds reads it.
