november 2020 - march 2021Merchandise for GDMS
The Graphic Design and Marketing Society create marketing and graphic design courses with the goal of helping students’ further their career prospects. I was tasked with creating a hoodie for the 2020/2021 exec members of the society.

The project
The timescale was 5 months.
I delivered the designs and oversaw the printing and distribution of the hoodies.
The target outcome was to create a unique article of clothing which would represent the GDMS team and make them easily recognisable around campus.
the process
For this project, I used Illustrator and Photoshop.
One skill I developed was designing for print.
Working on this project taught me how to be flexible when taking on the suggestions of others.
I communicated with the team via a team wide group chat, google meet and Trello.
achievements
The metric I used to measure success was positive feedback from the team at each stage of the design process.
I included the languages of each of the exec members in the design (Finnish, French, Polish, Hindi, Greek, Chinese, Portuguese and English) to make it unique to the team and highlight its diversity.
21 hoodies were sold. The entire GDMS team bought one including past members who wanted something to remember their time on the team by.
