Major Project

Before i started printing the clothing i sent out a few questionnaires to tattooed people asking them how they felt in society, if they feel judged etc. and the majority came back and said that they do feel judged and they get funny looks and have even been denied jobs for being tattooed.  I have now met up with these same people and gave them some of my clothing to wear for a day or two and then asked them another bunch of questions about how they feel and if their confidence has gone up or not wearing my clothing.  I wanted to see if wearing an item of clothing which represents tattooed people as a whole and which goes against mainstream society would make the person wearing it feel more confident in themselves as they know what they are wearing fully supports them and tat they are part of a wider community.  The results  Dilys' answers:  1.

Below is an image of the inks i used to screen print my clothing.  Once my designs were printed onto the acetate sheets i then placed these sheets along with a screen which had been coated in a green solution into the exposure machine. Once placed in the machine i closed the top so it was air tight and turned it on, it only takes about two minutes for the acetate sheets to be exposed onto the screen.  After the machine had finished exposing the design onto the screen i washed it with the hose to reveal the design. once washed i dried the screen and now it was ready to use.  Below is a picture of the screen after it had been exposed, washed and dried and then in place ready to use to screen print.  below is images of me in the process of screen printing 

Below are my finished designs to be printed onto my clothing. they will be big designs on the back of the tee-shirts and hoodies.  below are the two logos which will be on the front of the clothing.

This finding along with the finding that fashion can have a positive impact on someones confidence all makes for a good recipe for success as my brand will target the...
