Identifying my Theme and Proposal

For my Final Major Project I have decided to create and design my own T-shirt company. To complete the project I will need to create:    


  • Website
  • Product Branding
  • Product Photography
  • Design and create my own T-shirts
  • Marketing suit- Buisness card, Flyer, Website
  • Advert
  • Price listing- Hour rate, Half day, Full day rate- £15- £25 Per product
  • Logo design
  • Company name
For this project i will have to manage my time really carefully and closely because this will be alot of work to do since it has to be in by Wednesday 8th June 2016. I will be going to create the Logo, Design of the T-shirt and i will edit the Photography pictures on Adobe Photoshop. I will create the website on Wix.xom, i will shoot the Product Photography at home using my soft box lights and my cloth backdrops. While shooting the pictures I am going to be using a model and also hanging up and I will also do a close up of the logo.

For my Final Major Project i have decided to create my own on-line T-shirt company. I have chosen to do this because I have been interested in creating my own business for a while now and this is a good time to explore the process of starting a business from scratch. I will be asking to have help from my teachers and class mates to help me with advice and modelling, and to check my work is up to standard by asking them to peer evaluate regularly. To create my final product i will have to use all three of the mediums that i have learnt this year:


  • Video Production
  • Graphics 
  • Photography 
I want my portfolio, website, advertisement, photography, T-shirt design and social media work to look of a professional standard. Below are 4 pictures of two different websites called BeeInspired http://www.beeinspiredclothing.com/ and Eleven Degrees http://www.11degrees.co.uk/ that have inspired me to create my own T-shirt business.







While i am researching i am going to visit different websites and to see the design that they have used, how they have implemented navigation around their site and the pages that they have included. To prepare to create my website i will have to make it first as a basic structure without any pictures or information on it. Then I’d have to take the pictures of my products and the final logo and the final business name before i would be able to complete the website. I will present my final piece on the website with everything that a proper website will normally have. Also i am going to email some different clothing companies asking how they started up and how i will be able to get noticed as a brand and to be able to improve my products. i will also try and get some famous people to advertise my brand more and i will send them some sample clothes to get more publicity and to get a picture of them in the T-shirts which I could then put on my website. I could even ask them to give my company a shout out to their audience/followers on different social media platforms if they like them.
