So I have nearly completed the designs now for my first series. Just got some little tweaks to make and one more design to finalise. So I have started to plan a little more about layout and colours of T-shirts. I have put together some examples to see what looks good but nothing has been decided yet. I’m going to get the opinion of a friend (if you are reading this you know who you are) to help with some final decisions…. AND then hopefully I will be ready to take to the printers! Fingers crossed!

So here are 4 examples (from 6/7 designs I’m going to release) of how they designs MIGHT look on the T-shirt (like I said nothing is finalised yet).

Taste the deliciousness!

Also, I have just realised that I need to change my banner on my blog page and a few other things as I am dropping the Gustard Kreams name! But I might leave them for now until I sort out the most important things like the T-shirts!

…..Well I didn’t keep my word, of posting most days, so here is a quick instalment to let you know what is happening in my world.

So recently I have been designing a lot and trying to come up with a whole identity (as mentioned in my previous posts). This is going quite well and I am nearing the end of designing my first series of T-shirts! However there is still a lot to do, as I am not just designing the T-shirts, I have to design all the little bits and bobs that go with it such as tags, freebies and other things that will all be part of the experience of buying a C.M.G. T-Shirt. It feels like it is taking a long time to get anywhere but I think it is slowly coming together now.

Once the tees have been sent for production, I have decided to start working on my website to make it look more vintage and in keeping with the same trend/style as my T-shirts. So, again there will be something else to look forward to. My plan (although it probably wont happen as I intend) is to get everything sorted and released together. That means, new t-shirts, new web site, new online shop and new everything at the same time! Yay!!!

So a lot of work to do! In the meantime though I will try to remember to post more to keep you updated with the going ons of me and my work!

In other news I have nearly got my FM3 form (just waiting to receive it) which means I am officially able to stay and work in Mexico now! Awesome, awesome to the max! ⍟______⍟

So here are a few segments from some designs I have been working on recently. Not all of them are finished and some I might not even use but just thought I would tantalise your taste buds….. and also prove I am working hard on getting my brand going! Take a look and see if you can figure out what they are! ⁌______⁌

So after doing a bit more thinking after my previous post I decided I want to start taking my brand in a certain direction. This direction is Vintage/Retro/Art Deco/1950′s Ice Cream stuff. Well It’s not going to be exactly like that, I am going to have a slight modern twist on it but it will hopefully have that feel to it. In my previous post I posted a picture of a sticker, that I will be using, which has a vintage feel. So carrying on with that idea I have designed my tags for my clothing range (below).

After having a nervous breakdown and realising that there is sooooooo much more to starting a T-shirt brand than just designing and printing a few pretty Tees, I got to work and started researching a little more in to vintage adverts, styles, colours etc. which has given me more ideas and direction.

I thought I would have some designs ready soon to put online but after the rethink and realisation of everything I have to do I’m not sure how long it’s going to take me now! I am hoping that before Christmas I will be able to get my first range out and have the online shop ready. Starting a company is hard, the dream is there but you have to stick with it and stay motivated! Anyway below is my new T-shirt tag ↴_______↴

Nope it’s not a bad quality image, it’s just I don’t want you to see what I’m doing yet!! Hehehe…… sorry!
