The T-Shirt design i chose to use for the 2018 year consists of elements that represent Connecticut. The design consists of our State Capital Building, leaves, and a red carpet. This building holds meaning to the state from its roots to what we use it for today. Today the state capital building houses the Connecticut General Assembly; the upper house, the State Senate, and lower house, the House of Representatives, as well as the office of the Governor of the State of Connecticut. The branch with leaves that extends out from the right-hand corner is to symbolize the senery that we experience in our state during the fall months. The leaves add a little more detail and texture to the design to overall fill in a little bit more of the whitespace. I also incorporated my color choices with the colors of the actual leaves during the fall months to bring details from something as simple as leaves to compliment the other parts of my design. I added the red carpet in the front of the capital building because it sterotypically represents royalty. i wanted the thought of royalty to compliment and reflect positivly back onto the building.

Clothing design must appeal
to the target audience to drive sales
and interest the viewer.

Clothing design is very diffrent from any other design because clothes arnt made to look like a poster or a billboard. clothing design has to be visually appealing. I choose to use these design techniques and elements to create connecticut in a design. i took the old Capital Building and turned into this luxurious and modern t-shirt features a little bit of feminine vibes from the branch with leaves and masculine vibes from the colors to the building so it would appeal to more people. I believe connecticut SkillsUSA students and advisors would wear this design because it has a connection to thier state but it looks like it belongs. That makes the design not for print but for them to wear and be confident in wearing while thier getting ready to compete. Designing with meaning is key and i believe i executed that perfectly.
