Today I’ll be planning my meet and make video, adding more photos to my portfolio slides that Kathy got us to start yesterday and I also think I might rewatched the Baltic video that was put on classroom a couple weeks ago just to jog my memory.

Today I have added more images to my Padlet to get a good idea of what the products would look like in the end.

Meet & Make Plan

22003015_5 — 2023-11-20 15:10:31 UTC

For my Meet & Make video I had the idea of producing and instructing a simple easy to make graphic design tote bag, as of now I’m not sure if I would want to actually demonstrate how to make the bag with calico as I would want it to be directed to a wide range of audiences and sewing might not be safe for someone young to recreate, but on the other hand I could make it so it would be parent guided for people of a certain age which makes it more of a bonding exercise and also ensures more safety. The idea is that they would come up with there own design to be put onto the calico tote bag via screen printing, this would allow their imagination run wild, be involved, be hands on and get a small taste of what our course and what this industry is about.

For the video I definitely plan to have music on in the background as I think it is a great way to keep your audience engaged.

I also plan on making it a voice over video and making it as simple as possible so it is easy for all age groups to understand.

I also think it’s really important to be a bit comedic in your video to engage the audience even more and bring humour into it.

It would end up being something like this however they wouldn’t be predesigned, it would be the audience designing and screen printing it on, I believe that creativity is such an important thing to express no matter what your age.

I found these plain tote bags which would be perfect for my meet and make plan, especially because they are eco friendly. We always want to make sure that what we are doing is sustainable as possible

22003015_5 — 2023-11-20 15:10:31 UTC

Following from my plan, obviously I can’t just jump into it, I need to do some practice with screen printing since it has been a long while since I’ve done it and I want to make sure I’ve built on that skill a lot before teaching it. To practice this when I am at college I want to give it multiple goes and practice on plain pieces of calico.

22003015_5 — 2023-11-20 15:10:31 UTC

What I might do is either by hand or digitally come up with some designs which are simple that I should be able to screen print just for practice

Ones drawing these graphics, I edited them slightly so the background resembled the colour and look of basic calico to give a more accurate look of how it would look on a calico tote bag

22003015_5 — 2023-11-20 15:10:31 UTC

Will do this at college but haven’t been able to actually practice since I don’t have a screen printer at home

Screen Printing Tutorial

22003015_5 — 2023-11-20 15:10:31 UTC

I found this screen printing tutorial on YouTube, this has helped give me more of an idea on what a tutorial should look like. I think this screen printing tutorial is really effective because it is so simple and straight to the point.

22003015_5 — 2023-11-20 15:10:31 UTC

I also think this is a great, few second long video, just showing the audience how you would lay the screen print onto the tote bag.
