It’s the Royal Wedding tomorrow and we would like all of you to check out (and buy) our Royal Wedding Invite Shirt!

But as for the other shirts, we have received more Magic Touch paper, which we will then print out more of our designs, making sure that when we sell them, we have enough products available.

We’ve also set up our own Twitter and Facebook account so it’s easier for us to get in contact with everyone!

And we’re excited to announce that we have our first personalized shirt for a Music Artist that we’re going to be showing you really soon! We’re hoping to get as much more clients to help us gain more popularity for our products to be noticed.

Coming to the last set of Hurdles!!

1^st April 2011

Last week in our t-shirt project we decide that we are going to rent a stall and sell our product on a stall ourselves than sell to a store. This means that we have had to contact stall management at Camden and research into prices and times. Also that we need to look into Public Liberty Insurance to sell our product on a stall. We also added some new images to the design such as the pigeons and foxes to symbolise London. The next step for us is to print more t-shirts and bags ready to sell them.

8 April 2011

This week we have printed some more designs onto t-shirts. We received some sample paper from Magic Touch to trial as well, which we shall trial next week as our printer would not take the paper but on the good hand we are still printing more of our designs out for you to see! We have come up with sale ideas on our tees that will be displayed on our etsy site very soon. Hopefully next we shall be getting a lot more designs printed and on our site for you to see.

Final Printing the T-shirts

In the past two weeks we have completed a lot of tasks.

Last week we completed the designs by using photoshop to tidy them up and print them onto transfer paper ready to be placed onto the t-shirts, bags and mugs. we also used a mug press to sample how our mug design would come out . Last week we had issues with the printing were the designs came out smudged, so we had to find other alternatives and we are still seeking other alternatives.

This week we have started to print our designs onto bags and t-shirts. We have manage to get some free samples of new printing paper to solve our problem with the printing, but the situation is still not resolved. The printing team are now reviewing the final designs and discussing changes that could be made, and how to make them better. Our first listings are now on "etsy". We are looking forward to our first sale!

Oh and we have some good news... our project manager is PREGNANT

wayyyyyy

Another week...

In the previous week we have done loads and loads more market research. As you can see it does take much of our time, as this is a vital part of the process.

The production team where doing trial T-shirts, and testing the transfer paper to see how it comes out. Also, people where transferring the designs onto the transfer paper from the colour printer. Some scans of deigns and sketches where made and we made a collage.

We got to stage 2 of logo designs, which conclude with 3 possibilities of our company logo, which we are holding a vote for. The graphic design team where editing drawings on Photoshop and just cleaning the edges up.

And the promotion team set up a Facebook for our logo!

Research, Printing and Laughter.

Last week we carried on our market research and two of us visited Hampstead, but we found there were not so many boutiques or gift shops mostly high street shops. We have learnt by market research the best place to sell our T-shirts is Camden as it has a lot of gift shops and our design of T-shirt will fit in well in Camden rather than Hampstead. We completed more design on photo shop and printing on transfer paper to print on T-shirts . We tested our designs on different coloured T-shirts to see how it affects the design.

Isha took some photos of people modelling the T-shirts. After many weeks of designing and researching we are excited to finally get our designs on the shirts and looking forward to getting them out in the streets and selling them.

Trolling through...

The weather is really grey and dull, but somehow the atmosphere with us today seems to be cheerful hehe.

So.... today our task is to look at all the shops in the area and find out who will be interested in buying our shirts and also the creative group are coming up with ideas. Some of us are making phone calls and doing research while the rest of us are coming up with designs for our new upcoming logo that will be on here for you to see too.
