Final Printed 'Urbanize It' design T-shirt!

The final t-shirt design was printed and as you can see from the images below which includes a photo of me wearing it, the results of the t-shirt in a physical tangible form is quite satisfactory.

Purchasing tools and visiting print shops

We searched the net to find possible printing shops that we could print our t-shirts and we did come across a few but felt as though the prices were too high. Especially considering the other costs we had to cover.

These are the websites that we did check out.

We did print out one t-shirt through Negs as a test to see what the quality would be like.

Creating a consent form

Leonard and i decided to create a consent form. The consent form would be a sort of contract which would allow us to gain genuine permission from the individual or company that allows us to sell or promote our t-shirt within their sales environment. We felt this would make us look more professional and be taken more seriously.

Conducting an online survey

i created an online question survey using a website called www.surveymonkey.com

here is the link to the questionnaire created using the website.

Concepts of Urbanize It Logo & Final Design

Coming up with a name for our clothing brand and creating the logo proved to be quite a challenge. I brainstormed lots of potential names for our clothing brand. We were looking fro name that was contemporary, youthful and meaningful.

After much deliberation and head scratching, my team mate Leonard Onikoyi came up with the name 'Urbanize It'. We both felt the name was perfect because it was easy to remember, the name itself had meaning and to top it all off we got fantastic feedback from our peers, teachers and the public.

The next phase was creating the logo and while gathering all the research in looking at other brands, Leonard took on the primary task in creating the logo. I did a few concept designs myself and had some input myself. Here are the concepts below.

Once a design of the logo was agreed on, Leonard went off to design the final image of the logo. And as you can see below, this is the final logo of Urbanize It. The other two images are promotional wallpaper images.

Final Logo Design! :)
