Year 8 T-shirt Design Brief & Instructions © Alamanda College 1 DESIGN BRIEF - SCREEN PRINTED T-SHIRT BACKGROUND T-shirts, originating around 100 years ago, were developed by the U.S. Navy with crew necks (high, round neck lines) and short sleeves and meant to be worn under the uniform as an under garment. In the 1940s, the t-shirt was adopted as an unofficial uniform for workers, including mechanics, miners, farmers and factory workers. T-shirts are now one of the most popular of all types of clothing, amongst all age groups. T-shirts are made in all shapes, colours and sizes and are able to reflect individuality in design. Plain t-shirts can be a blank canvas for wearers to express their own individuality by designing and producing their own unique style. YOUR DESIGN BRIEF The production company (your class) will create a range of plain white t-shirts, to be dyed, tie- dyed and/or screen-printed with unique designs. You may choose to print on the front, back, sleeves or all three (time permitting). As a designer, your project needs to: • be the right size for you to wear; • be made from plain white jersey (stretch knit fabric); • be designed appropriately for display in the school; and • appeal to your own unique style. You will use the MYP Design cycle to aid in the planning, production and evaluation of your work.
