T-shirt Graphic Designer

July 2017 - Jan 2018
My first career as a graphic designer began at a T-shirt factory in the United States. Initially, he liked everything visual, including paintings, architecture, and animation, so he was interested in producing T-shirt images. The company, combined with a factory and office called 3forty in Passaic, designed ideas mainly based on the latest hip-hop and old school hip-hop as its primary customers, primarily black and Latino. There was a head designer in charge of silkscreens in this company, and as a side designer, I selected more than four to five T-shirt designs a day. Most of the desk market research was conducted either on a site called Hypebeast or through the design of several clothing sites. The actual market research was to go to several malls such as garden Mall in New Jersey and get references to the graphic design styles. My actual design production experience was invaluable. When I often walked around in my T-shirt, quite a few black friends asked me about the origin of my T-shirt.
From this experience, it was an excellent opportunity to look at hip-hop and the United States culture from a new perspective by examining the content that would be on the T-shirt. The technical part of graphic design has increased, but it has been good training to create a single finished product.
