Fading Heart

Hello All,

During this week we continued more work on the website, fiddling with it and trying to make it work. We also created a whole new shirt design and came up with the idea for a new shirt which is almost the opposite of the first new shirt. The new shirt will be called “Faded Heart” because there is a heart figure in the regular color of the shirt on the pocket space and the rest of the top portion of the shirt is beach-dyed to give it a faded look. The second new shirt is a bleached white heart on the pocket space and the bleach fade going upwards.

Currently, we are coming up with new ideas for shirts and maybe dress. We still do not yet know how many shirts or products that we want to make all together.

Next week, we will convene with our mentor to talk about how the transfer of the shirts will go as we are not as far as we thought we would be at this point. We will continue work on the website and making new shirts.

Cross Our Hearts

Hello All,

During this week, we continued our work on the website, which will half serve as our final product with other half being the shirts and semi-dresses themselves. The website will have many different sections including an “about us” page, a “home” page, “contact us” page, and a actual “store” page. It might be struggle to work with weebly as neither of us are particularly experienced with using the website creator, weebly. This website let us create our own personalized website and lets us use a our own domain name, minus the .weebly.com.

Currently, we are creating our actual shirts and the product page on website. We want to have many different designs so everyone will be able to choose a style they like, the first of which being a desgin with hearts on the front and a cross on the back. We are also working with out mentor to get the shirts to Hands on Nashville.

Next week, we will work more on the website as this will be our biggest task since we aren’t particularly experienced in this realm. We how to be able to give you a snip it of what the website looks like soon!

Bleach-tastic

Hello All,

During this week, we convinced with our mentor and started to decide our main colors. When talking with our mentor we discussed, once again, the possibility of a website, and we all agreed that it was a necessity. The reason being, rather than relying on word of mouth a verbal agreement, we could have an electronic record of how much of everything we need. The second reason is this way we would be able to reach more people, rather than just school and community wide, we could reach as far as country-wide. Currently, we creating the first full-fledged draft of our t-shirt design. Originally, we planned to make shirts, dresses, shorts, and maybe even skirts; however, it's looking like realistically we only may be able to make the shirts and maybe t-shirt dresses, which has actually become a more popular style. The only problem we run into with the dress is that the sizes will be weird, and the proportions may not fit. Next week we plan to start creating a website and make more shirt, this time in different colors and come to a conclusion on our theme color. The choices are staying with our blog colors or making them a bit darker with hunter greens and blacks.
