Young Fellow Clothing

Brand and clothing designs

I want to guide Young Fellow Clothing into a new direction. I am going to incorporate my hand made collages into my t-shirt line. I plan to explore new mediums that are used for image transfer. I will continue to use screen printing as a form of transferring images as well as attempt to dye shirts with fabric dye or maybe even bleach. I am also going to look into the method of stenciling my collages onto shirts.

Since Young Fellow Clothing started I have been printing with vectored images that I created by hand, scanned into the computer and edited digitally. I want to make my shirts appear to be more abstract and by doing so I have chosen to use my collages as the images. My collages contain a variety of contrasted shapes and forms, and intricate line drawings. They also express different levels of texture that provides a three dimensional feel. I am hoping that by manipulating my collages with other image transfer techniques that they will have a different result of texture or 3D appearance.

I am still researching other methods of transfer that are affordable for my budget.

Materials
  • Young Fellow Clothing
  • Hand made collages, mixed medium works.
  • Adobe Photoshop
Objectives
  • Continue to make collages.
  • Manipulating the collages digitally and recreating them with other methods of image transfer.
  • I will eventually print these collages onto shirts with the intent of making the whole shirt itself look like the abstract image of the collage.
  • Research alternative ways of image transfer, (Screen print, stenciling, bleach printing, more to come).
  • Dye shirts with fabric dye to show some imitation of shades, lines or even solid shapes seen in my collages.
