PRINT'S NOT DEAD Shirt
This is the third piece of my senior project from 2017, illustrated by myself, printed and cut by ASU Print lab. The illustration was done from scratch in Adobe Illustrator and designed to match the punk aesthetic of the other two pieces.
This shirt is one of three pieces, designed by myself, to serve as a study for a fashion line. Each piece is connected through the theme of print: both through production and aesthetics. Normally I would sketch the drawing out on paper before making a digital version, but I wanted to challenge myself and see if I could draw it from scratch in Adobe Illustrator.
A punk girl was chosen for the illustration to create a sense of rebellion, which can also be seen through the loud color palette. This set of colors also connects to print as they are the primary colors used in the printing process. In the case of the top, the illustration was printed onto vinyl, cut, and transferred to the fabric by the ASU Print Lab.
My intent was to show others that there is still a meaning for print in the world, hence the title PRINT'S NOT DEAD. Most people think of outdated communication forms like newspapers when it comes to print and I would like to change that perception.
