Statement
Creating my own graphics for clothing has been something I have always wanted to do. I had recently taken a screen-printing class where I really started to dive into creating my own graphics to add to t-shirts and hoodies for my friends and I to wear. I love photographing my friends and wearing the design I have made. The Idea for my capstone was to combine my passion for merchandise design, branding, photography, and layout design. Lucky4 is my own clothing brand that I have created where I will be selling graphic tees and other merchandise. The number 4 has always been very prevalent in my life and has always had a lot of meaning behind it for me, so it really is my lucky number. For this project I have created graphics for different types of tees and hoodies using different versions of the logo I have created for Lucky4 and other fun graphics. I then printed the design through a combination of both screen-printed design and heat pressed design. I photographed friends where they were seen modeling the clothing I have designed and created a small zine to showcase and combine my design and photography skills. I am looking forward to continuing this brand after graduating as well and being able to sell my pieces!
