wanna get into clothing design

[jboyce]

I see all these tight shirts when i got shopping, and I realize I should be designing shit like that, not *** ass paintings that i do. I'm rethinking my career objective and school and all that. I wanna start doing clothing design. heres a couple things i whipped up in the last day or so, would ya'll buy any of this or wha?

all these are done in photoshop, with my wacom tablet, didnt steal anything from anywhere. all hand drawn.

a very large version of #3 would look sick on the back of a Ivory colored Leather Jacket

you could get http://www.cafepress.com/ to print them ...keep us updated.

I'm sure I could make a CB7tuner shirt, that's all up to deeve n shit tho. Yea i've heard of cafepress, but i'm gonna stick with local printing places which i already got a couple i've been exchanging emails with.

I do plan to attend portland art institute, but its expensive, and i ahve to wait til i get my degree from the school i'm at now, which will be another year 1/2.

I'm just excited to actually get some shirts printed and start sellin em to people, it'll be awesome to be able to wear something i made.

oh and all these are being made in high resolution too, those pictures are small compared to actual size. I think that tree one is like 15x25 inches.

Cafepress doesn't really get you much in the way of profit. The only time I haven't had to PAY for the cb7tuner storefront is when the calendars sold

I like the skull design. It takes a basic concept and puts a different spin on it. Well done!

And XKingDomeCB7... I just have to laugh at "punker band"

me personally..i would never get into designing clothes

its such an inconsistent field..fads and trends come and go..i mean itd be reall cool as a side job..but not as my main focus..but if its your passion go for it man

[deevergote]

Yeah, it's a very unstable career choice... as is music... Do it all and maybe you'll have a shot!

Do it because you're passionate about it, and it'll be worthwhile.

and you can brag about it, "hey he's wearing my shirt i design 5 yrs ago..."

it would be a risky career if one fails to stay with the trends...or develop new ones...

but there are many designers in the Toronto area, for example, that have a very large returning customer base....ppl just like custom-made or niche type clothing...

Its a big market...just have to develop a good customer base ...i'd buy a CB7tuner one if u made it

good luck with everything

Ya id have to agree, i mean shit does change and whatnot but if you can figure out what it takes to stay fresh and keep the ideas new and pimp then you should be ok....
