Sketch, flip image, repeat

Love this tutorial from Design*Sponge. I was just playing around with her instructions and design for my own and came up with this similar design. Not sure what I'd do with it, but it's so much fun to construct!

Self-serving final project

I took a digital art class this semester and just finished up today-hurray! For my final project I wanted to do something that I could use once the class was over, as I have far too many old projects just lying around the apartment collecting dust. So I did a series of zombie t-shirts (a la my 28 Weeks Later shirt). The last two shirts I used the pic I posted below, and the top one is an image from a 2 Halloweens ago. As you can see, I'm not so keen on ironing.







The transfers I used are crap for sure, very plasticky and cracked as soon as I folded the shirt. If I do this again I will use my original method or find a better brand of transfer. But at least I have the images ready to go.

Making things...

I mocked up these invitations this weekend for my sis and her fiance. I'm definetly a novice at graphic design, but I did manage to do my own invitations for my wedding so I thought I'd give it another whirl. I sketched, then scanned, then used Photoshop to manipulate the images. I really need to do the Save-the-Date cards, probably should've started there.

Did I say I was obsessed?

I made this t-shirt to go see 28 Weeks Later...yeah...I did.

Consider it like people that dress up to see Pirates, or Harry Potter. I just happened to be the only one to do it for this movie.

I used this amazing tutorial except I used fabric paint instead of screenprinting ink. In the future I think I will A.) Use screenpriting ink B.) Use a looser weave of fabric.

According to the site from which I got the image: "The first draft of the IR promotional poster was 'too in your face'". Well, considering I almost had to leave the theatre while watching 28 Days Later because I was so disturbed by it I'd say this creepy poster would have been very apropos!
