This brand is very much still in the works, but I plan to continue defining my target market & bring the style of my posters to a subject area surrounding mental health. I found that in a midst of a creative block I turned to collage-making, and as I continue this process, Iām exploring visual art as a form of therapy. I hope to use these findings in my capstone as I work to develop a tool for visual learners dealing with mental illnesses.
I chose to take the spring 2023 semester to dive into my passions through an experiential learning plan. I wanted to do more to learn about myself, design, & what excites me. I developed a 6 month plan to kick off my graphic T-shirt brand & challenged myself to grow beyond the preplanned curriculum.
I worked for consecutive weeks understanding materials, testing sublimation options, & learning how to sew through the fashion program. I also enjoyed enhancing Adobe Photoshop skills through a variety of poster designs on miscellaneous subject areas.
