Andy Warhol painted familiar consumer items such as coca-cola bottles or soup cans throughout the 1960s, the earliest examples first shown in New York in 1962. Asked why he painted soup cans, Warhol replied, 'we used to drink it. we used to have the same lunch every day.' Using screenprinting, Warhol could simulate the mechanical effect of his source to the extent that the resulting image appears almost untransformed. Yet, the rich colour, enlargement of scale and unifying black outline are reminders that these are commercial techniques being used in the context of high art, no longer selling products, but presenting them as objects for contemplation. As such, they pose radical questions about the...

These days most large format printers come with a basic driver which will produce a reasonable picture, but if you're using it for production of screen separations a RIP is a vital part of the equation. RIP stands for Raster Image Processor, a piece of software that takes a Postscript file and converts it into dots that the printer understands. A hardware RIP is simply a software RIP in a proprietry case that's really difficult to upgrade. The advantages of the RIP stem from the flexibility of the Postscript language, a printer orientated language that allows separations, trapping and halftone information to be included within the file. 1. If you are doing halftoned work use of a RIP is almost...

T-Shirts are not often known for their class. In fact there's a whole category of t-shirts dedicated to the obnoxious and tasteless. And some t-shirts can indeed be a work of art, reflecting the work of a talented artist. But there is another category of t-shirts that literally can "show your class."

Driving traffic to your website is easy when you take advantage of certain times and dates on the calendar. Although this is seasonal marketing, it can build a large following. When I realized the capabilities of specific dates and activities to promote, I was a t-shirt designer making Christian apparel. I had a particular t-shirt with Praying hands that said, "Did You Pray Today". National Prayer Month was coming up and I decided to use that to boost sales. The results was staggering. I simply asked folks, "Being National Prayer Month, I thought you might buy a Prayer t-shirt from me. They only cost $10.00, and part of the proceeds go to charity." Don't use the charity part unless you actually give...

Most fashion designers plan the online sales of their designs in a bit of a backward manner, meaning that they never properly develop an idea of what truly separates them in the marketplace from their competitors. However, if they did, they could guarantee sales and thereby assure the success of their brand. The way to attract online customers who want and need your designs is by clearly defining what sets you apart from the rest of the fashion industry, which in marketing is called defining the Unique Selling Proposition (USP). In a nutshell, the USP is a quick-but-intense analysis of your competitors, your target customer, and you...and how they all interlock (or don't). By understanding where...

If you're not sure what the attraction is, then here's what you need to know. 1. You might enjoy standing out from the crowd, and so wearing something that very few people will have seen or heard of, never mind own, might appeal to you. 2. Perhaps you enjoy discovering a brand or a designer. Maybe you missed out on a previous item, or collection, and have made it your aim not to miss out again. 3. Maybe you enjoy knowing that there are very few other people with your limited edition T shirts or...

Nearly all individuals prefer to dress casual, in order to be comfortable and to fit in with everybody else. Most individuals don't get dressed up simply to leave the house anymore. In the past, if you weren't dressed to the nines, with everything in its place and everything buttoned up, you would not be representing yourself right.

It is not like that anymore and for good or bad, people are not so worried with looking as if they just stepped out of the theater after a night at the opera. Several people still do and will not be caught dead looking like they were sitting around watching television...

Never drink and derive! It's such an important message that I'm going to go ahead and say it another way. Don't drink and derive! Euclid and Pythagoras and all those derivers of old would never have believed the mess this number stuff was going to cause on college campuses across the country. Unbelievable really. Kids...just kids really. Pushing pencils on graph paper, wielding t squares uncertainly, erasing errant lines, trying so hard to be precise, wishing they weren't the only college students in the Northern Hemisphere without access to a computer. So they drink beers, tequila and fermented pineapple smoothies, hoping to "get off" and hold it together in equal measure. Ultimately, they're...

When you think about it, the term scarf is quite general. This is because there are so many different kinds and types of scarves that it would be impossible to determine what a person means when they use the term scarf. On the other hand, an aviator scarf seems a lot more specific but surprisingly it is also not as definitive as you might originally expect. What makes that particular accessory different is how it can fit into several looks. You can use it to match so many different outfits that it kind of creates its own subsets for itself. For example, you can pair this up with the typical glam rock look. The edgy and fierce look which is accompanied by leather jackets, chained accessories and a...

The knock at the dressing room door couldn’t have come at a better time. I was standing with my back to the mirror, my head impossibly twisted so I could see how the shirt fit from the back. It definitely was not covering my derriere. Not good. “Can I get you anything in a different size, Miss?” the salesperson asked. “Yes, I’ll take the red blouse in size large, and the gold in extra-large. Thanks.” The woman paused, and I could almost hear her wondering what a petite girl like me wanted with such big sizes. She probably opened her mouth to protest, but realizing that she wouldn’t win over a stubborn, fashion-sensitive teen, she hurried off to get me the sizes I had requested. Moments...

If you haven't heard of a couple t-shirt you might not be in a relationship. A couple t-shirt is not the same thing as wearing the same shirt. It is when two people are wearing complementary shirts. For example his shirt might say Mutt and yours might say Jeff. Or his shirt might say Black and yours could say Berry. It is the combination of both shirts together that creates a message to others. It will also signify that you are together and in a relationship. So if you are in a relationship should you purchase a couple t-shirt? By all means if you can finish each other's sentences and are in a lovey dovey stage that is the pivotal time to buy a shirt. Most guys wouldn't normally wear a shirt anyway...
