My brother built his own custom hot rod to represent his business and to present his work at local car shows. I thought it would be cool to cartoon-ize his car for logo and apparel use. The turbo's were cropped from another image but the design was mainly going to be used for t-shirts so I know the realistic turbo's would still print with a similar style to the rest of the image.
Below is the final image being printed onto T-shirts. It was my first apparel design so there was a lot to learn about the process. We now have our own screen printing equipment and I've realized that simplicity in design is key. Lesson learned!
Since then I have started learning more and more about Adobe Illustrator for apparel design. The vector image below is what we are using now for printing.
Below are photos of the first hoodie and a t-shirt we screen printed with the new equipment and design! I know it isn't perfect but for the first time every doing something like this I thought it came out badass! We are still testing out different screen mesh densities to see what works best.
Heres the first Logo Intro I made in After Effects for the business. This is the first time I've ever actually used the program and after the second day of messing around with it I was able to create this. It can definitely be improved and theres a bunch of more ideas I want to run with!
