Sessions in the Design Center:
Session 1: Planning & Introduction
March 28, 12-3pm
This session led by the Design Center Staff, will give you information on how to turn your artwork into a design that can be produced on a t-shirt using Adobe Illustrator & CLO3D. They will provide feedback and advice on what is feasible. Demonstrations on how to use the Design Center tools to create your designs will be provided.
Session 2: Making the prototype
April 4, 12-5pm
This session will allow you to take your garment ready designs and create a sample for display using vinyl cutting/silkscreening, heat press, and digital embroidery. Each group will produce two garments that will be displayed on campus for voting. The winner will be announced on Earth Day, April 22 at a Rebear lunch event.
