Thoughts and details
-------------------------------------------------------
Working with a bigger group that was interactive was fun, but mainly working and overcoming obstacles and making what we had worked with the printing process. Though I was the one checking to make sure the shirts were dry, but I had to make sure If I saw mess-ups that would be easily seen from far away or seeing the screen is starting to come loose from tape I had to be sure to see if that would happen.

The purpose of this project was to see what we have learned from past screen printing, into a huge production of shirts in a short amount of time. This also showed how we can work in a team to communicate to make sure everything goes smootlthy, and that the end product is good and not a mess of mistakes.

Transparency for screen burning-----------------------------------------
This was the design the group we had to do, which had won from the voting from the Mustang logo project
The screen burning process went smoothly with no misshapes, though when printing we did see that chroma blue had not come out around the top of one the lines for the H but it wasn't a huge deal because it went with the design nicely.
Though a vital mistake had been made when the detain had been made to be printed, there wasn't any cuts outs where red shouldn't be. So the red that would be around the horse with the shield like background ,went through the transparent of the horses head and everywhere else that it wasn't supposed to be at. |

Printing process
-------------------------------------------
I was one the kids who came in during first period to help start printing the T-shirts and I was tasked with folding and making sure the shirts were dried and looking for mistakes. Which when we got the first print on the fabric test we realized that the red went through the horses head, which stumped us for a second on how it could fixed. The solution was to use tape on the red, and Mr Myrdal put sharpie on the screen to show us where take should be on the red screen. Which this did solve the issue, the inly thing now left was how long was the tape going to last on the red screen.
The rest of the process went somewhat well, as at one point the black screen had a piece blow out which was a little black dot but was caught before it was a huge issue. The rest of the process was a little slow because JAMES went slow, that isn't serious but the process was a bit slow and since the printing didn't finish before the bell rang so we had clean after class which James and I stayed back to clean up everything.
