CREATIVE COLLABORATION
Collaborative effort with funnel cake business, Fun OH Cakes.
I developed apparel for a collaborative activation, combining creativity with fundraising efforts for the Boys and Girls Club of Charlotte. This collaboration was a valuable learning experience, providing insights into the intricacies of developing a product in conjunction with another business. The synergy between creative endeavors and a shared philanthropic goal highlighted the power of collaboration in making a positive impact. Through this process, I honed my skills in aligning creative pursuits with meaningful fundraising initiatives
Mock up one.Started this project by developing mock ups of t shirts with different sayings that collaborators thought would spark conversation. Not well recieved.
T shirt mock up 2. No one liked admitting to cheating, so this idea was scratched.

T shirt mock up 4: The final version we presented to the brand owner of Fun Oh Cakes. It was just too expensive to produce.
Fun Oh Cake CEO, Patrick Young. We settled on this t shirt look that was affordable to produce and minimal.

Prototype 1 of Sub One Shirt. With no sketching involved, I built this notable shirt from the ground up, articulating the shirt information and placement to mall kiosk vinyl printers.

Sample 2: From sample one, I went back to add some color to the text, as well as different font.
Product Final- Finding inspiration from the monogram red printed "Thank you "plastic bags given to Sub One customer taken for take out orders, I revisited the front design of the shirt with repeated "Sub One Hoagie" scaling down the shirt. Specifically in colors that resemble the AFRO American flag, hence the company being black owned.
