PCL - Manchester print fair & competition

Manchester print fair is taking place on the 27th of October and it would be a great opportunity to get some t'shirts printed to sell, however, there are no more stalls available to rent which is a real shame. This has made me realise that Marty and I really need to push and push this brief so we can have prints ready and we can sign up to these sort of events. This was a great opportunity we missed out on.

However, there is a small silver lining. The print fair is holding a competition for two designers to enter designs that will then be printed live during the fair on t-shirts and bags. The winners receive a free shirt and bag each so I can only assume that we wouldn't make any money from the prints. However we are still going to enter and possibly get some of our designs out there.

Furthermore we're going to attend the fair anyway to pick up some ideas of what people are producing and selling and more importantly the way these fairs are set up a run. If others have t-shirts being sold then it would be a good chance to get some advice.

STREET SUMMER ON CHANNEL 4.

I've signed up to www.dontpaniconline.com where I've recently entered a design competition for a series of programs that will be shown on Channel 4. The programs will be about street art and the graffiti movement and the winning designs will be featured on a wall (legally) or a billboard for 2 weeks and there will als obe a short film made about the design and the designer that submittied it.

The public voting doesn't start until the 8th of July and the competition closes on the 17th july. the top 10 designs with the most votes go through to a judges decision. Below is a link to the brief and the webpage.

This is the design I've submitted.

The design doesn't have to be spectacular, they are looking for the idea more than anything at the moment and I'm visualizing the out come to be black and white on a brick wall as a paper graffiti piece. If I  do win however I will be working with a professional to paint my design on.
