Screen Printing - Thumbnails

Now it's time to start planning for the screen print. Just as you have previously completed you will have to draw several designs; in this case, four. They should be 1/4 of the final prints size, and since it's just a thumbnails, they should look rough. Remember, the purpose of thumbnails are just to get creative and come up with some different ideas.

Get creative though. If you worked for the Boston Red Sox you wouldn't just put their logo on 4 different colors of fabric. You might design some with the logo and a silhouette of a player swinging. Maybe another with Boston burned into a baseball. Hopefully you're getting the idea here. Choose a theme... maybe the Red Sox and then experiment with some different designs for your 4 thumbnails.
