The document provides information and guidelines for students to design a t-shirt for a summer fete competition. It discusses theme ideas, design considerations like symmetry and placement on the shirt, planning the design on paper first, and techniques for transferring and applying the design such as using fabric paints, markers, stencils, or block printing. Students are encouraged to start planning their design and sign up for workshops where they will receive materials and assistance to create their t-shirt entry.

7. Design considerations If your design is going to be symmetrical you need to know where the middle lines and centre are before you start Identify your picture area on the t-shirt The central chest is the normal area but you might want to use the sleeve areas or the back of the t-shirt Try to imagine what the t-shirt will look like on and try to imagine where the creases of the fabric will be and where the picture won’t be seen in full Colour of t-shirt material – white is the easiest to use as all shades of colour will stand out well against white
