Trying out Cricut for cards

Daisy Jackson / 18/10/2022

Due to having problems regarding material for mass producing T-shirts (which I will rectify), I decided to try out the transfer paper and try and transfer a design of mine onto paper. This is the process I will be doing whne creating cards and prints!

Here is my process:


This was my design cut by the Cricut machine onto the vinyl. 


I the used transfer tape for the vinyl to stick onto. The tutorial I watched told me to press the transfer tape onto my clothes a few times before applying to the vinyl as this reduces how sticky it is.


This is the vinyl design stuck onto the trasnfer tape. I flattened this with one of the utensils provided in the essentials kit so the design stuck fully onto the tape.


I peeled the vinyl off it's original backing and onto the transfer tape. 


This is my finished design printed onto paper! I am so happy with the result of this as it looks professional and can be mass produced. I also love the texture of this and think it will look great laminated for prints. I cannot wait to try this once I have a Warhorse design!

Reflecting on the winter fair - 12/12/2022

Reflecting on the winter fair Daisy Jackson / 12/12/2022 Reflecting upon the Winter fair, I would say it went better than expected. At the end of the day I did make sales which was nice as well as the interactions I had with customers/people. Everyone was extremely friendly and I did not feel nervous. I think the layout of my stall went really well and everything was nicely organised. I was really happy with how it all turned out. I think if I was to make improvements for next time or if I could go back in time and change things I would definitely reduce the amount of stock I made as I lost out on a lot of profit. I know this is not the point but it would be nice to break even or make more than I spent. However, the experience of it was really great and definitely insightful. I have never done anything like this before so it was really fun and interesting.  I think I did a great job promoting myself and my brand so I am happy with that. Overall, I think my approach to this module h...

Creating a series of designs - 28/10/2022

Creating a series of designs Daisy Jackson / 28/10/2022 This week I set myself the ongoing task of creating designs and bringing my ideas to life.  I will more than likely spend next week (or half of next week) doing the same thing as I want the perfect designs to communicate Warhorse the story in my own way. Here are my designs: I really love this design as it communicates Warhorse in a unique way. It is a fun midpoint design where it references Warhorse but can also just be a general shirt for people to wear and enjoy. From my survey I noticed that a large amount of individuals were not familiar with the story or Warhorse at all, so creating a mid-way shirt would be great to generate sales but also reference Warhorse. The second image was a try out for a different design for the deck chair. I decided to go with the top one as this made the design less complicated and not too overcrowded. Perhaps a development point I could create for this design would be adding money floating aro...
