This is my Lin Osbourne inspired T-shirt design where i got 9 pictures about Brighton and had to aline them up together in a block form and therefor make sure every picture is in the shape of a square. I also had to add my logo which i placed in the bottom left corner of the images. The design worked because all of the images were alined in the centre of the T-shirt. It could have been improved if i added my logo in the top right of the images.

This is my final Oscar Wilson inspired T-shirt design where I used surfing words to fill up a silhouette. I also filled the words with colours related to surfing/the beach e.g Shades of yellow (for the sun and sand), Shades of blue to represent the water/sea. I think the colours linking to surfing and the overall silhouette turned out well because when your first take a glimpse at the T-shirt it is easy to understand what it is about. To improve this design I could have placed the silhouette slightly to the right so that it is in the centre of the shirt to give it a better focal point.

This is the logo that inspired my design. 

This is the Si Scott inspired writing but on the final T-Shirt design, I chose to put it in the middle of the shirt and near the top as well because in that position it stands out the most. It could have been improved by adding water related colours. The design went well because of the Si Scott inspired twirls that i added to the word 'Radical', they help give the T-shirt an even more surf feel other than just the surf relate word.

This is my final Si Scott inspired surfing shirt design where i chose a surfing type of word which was the word "Radical". First of all had to make it with the 'twirl' effect because we are testing out Illustrator. This gives it the effect of water waves around the word, linking back to surfing. Then we moved it to Photoshop to turn it into a jpg format for the blog. Experimenting and using different techniques on photoshop and Adobe illustrator to improve my digital skills for my final outcome.
