For my Final presentation I Installed my work as if I was selling Shirts at the Flea market and thought of ways that i could present it and in these photos as you can see I hanged up my shirts with the coat hangers with my printed logo design on top and on the tables I covered the table with a Lavalava which matched the colours of the shirts. Next I had an idea of printing out 3 slips of paper and wrap the paper around the shirts and glue the ends together. Afterwards I then taped up the $20 sign just to show how much the shirts would cost and then I folded the shirts by displaying the design for people to have a closer look.

Overall I am happy with the amount of time I had to do all the tasks and completing my assignments on time although I could have extra time but I challenged myself into completing things on time and I also had an assist with my good friend Nia who is always supportive of my work and I appreciate everything she has done for me. I am also thankful for those who immediately took interest in my work and this is just the beginning of what is yet to come so I am happy with the result and hopefully I get to expand my knowledge of design.

FINAL PROJECT RESULTS

These are the results of my designs and prints and to be honest I am happy with what I have produced in the amount of time I have used and happy with the result as you can see in the photos. I later posted the photos up on Facebook and it became a hit especially with the Aiga Strong T shirts where a lot of people wanted one so this may be a good start as i am willing to progress in this industry of Print media/ T-Shirt Printing. and on top is my logo company design which I roughly illustrated.

Overall I enjoyed making and creating these designs although at times i found it frustrating to come up with Ideas but at the end of it all I am really happy with my work and this is just the beginning of what may happen in the near future.

Final Designs

Psalms 133

1 Corinthians 9: 24

Joshua 1:9

These are my final designs as I am going to attempt to print 9 white shirts and print with 2 colours (Black and Red) and hopefully the result will end up just like the designs. each of these shirts will be different sizes so in other words i will have 1 design for 3 different sized shirts.

Example:

1 DESIGN = 3 SHIRTS

AIGA STRONG: 6XL, 3XL, L

SIAMUPINI: 5XL, 2XL, M

FA'AMALOSI: 4XL, XL, S

These are just a few T shirts of Taga Tanuvasa who is also a good friend of mine and who first taught me how to print on shirts. His work has inspired me to make t shirts such as these and is also similar to the concept of my work. So for my final project I have decided to use 3 colours which are White. Black, and Red so i am going to do 9 white shirts and print Black and Red on all shirts. 

Research - Presentation

I went to the Otara Flea Markets and saw a few shops and how they presented their shirts. So what I did was i took photos of all the stalls that were in the Otara Markets.

This helps me with how i am going to install my work and so far it has given me ideas on how to present my shirts. 

For my Final presentation I am going to present my work as if i was selling my shirts in the Markets as shown in these photos

Bulky Boy is a clothing company created in 2000 which is based in San Diego, California and they design, print, and sell clothes for men who live large. they make a lot of designs with Hawaiian, Samoan, Tongan, and all other pacific nation patterning or designs. 

I find this cool because not only the designs are cool but i like the way how they added their logo in their design which i find helpful with my designs and which also signifies who made the prints and designs which will attract people to get them to buy one of your products which i find very useful.

This will help me with designing and printing t shirts and will also help me with ideas whereas this is what i want to do for my final project. I have also seen their T-shirts being sold at the Otara Flea Market and whenever i have the chance to go there the first place i will go to is Sam's Island Gear.
