SKETCHES & MOCK UPS
Once the concepts from sketches are decided, we start moving forward and development the artwork further. We're not opposed to change or a slight pivot in direction, sometimes it leads to us creating something better than we initially thought.

DEVELOPMENT

PRODUCTION
This is when we start to feel the project coming to life. It feels real when we're testing stock or receiving prints from our printer. A proud moment for us!
TESTING
Alex testing the transfers to check the colours and adhesion to the garment.
We create the t-shirt on test stock before going to production.
PRODUCT
Transfers are closely inspected by both of us to make sure no details from the artwork has been missed or left out.
Final outcome - we review the transfers and make any adjustments we feel is needed.
