Clothing Graphic Design



The type of work I'm interested in is clothing design and each t-shirt has a very interesting design. The first is classic, it says "I love graphic design." I wanted to just include this one to show what I'm interested in going into. The next shirt is more humorous and actually from a website where people can send in their ideas and have them put onto shirts. The last is the most creative and more of a piece of art put onto an article of clothing.

In the job description "Graphic Designer," a person usually is working for a client, designer a piece of art that is usually meant for a specific cause and targeted towards a particular group of people. There are plenty of different graphic design jobs including signs, magazines, clothing, corporate identity, digital design, etc, etc. A graphic designer must be creative, understand brands and causes, be able to use digital design software, be able to communicate well with others, and be able to work with others. This job is mainly based on talent and ideas instead of academics. However, it is preferred that they have some type of degree in design or an HND. Salaries can start around £15,000 for beginners to £50,000 for the very experienced and talented. To get started, it's highly recommended to have a portfolio and people interested in this job can also intern to get ready for the workforce. A typical day for a graphic designer can include discussing ideas with co-workers, creating new ideas, preparing layouts, choosing colors, client meetings, ordering supplies, and so on.

For my self-promotional piece I'm thinking about either making a witty t-shirt or folding papers to make a bunch of t-shirt ideas ranging from comedy to purposeful to logos. My idea will show my ability to use software and design software to make attractive clothing that many people will hopefully want to buy. I'll show my ideas, a range of what I can do, and my creativity. I could possibly do a few for some specific organizations to show I understand brands, targeting audiences, and getting the point across!
