 * Project**
 * Through out this project i will be in the process of creating a clothing line. I am doing this to get closer into the fashion world on account i want to do this for the rest of my life. Fashion is a life of style and its about time that i add my own to this competitive world. I will be working at a screen printing shop that is being developed by my partner in the works Mike McGuire. Through out the process of creating this clothing line i will be working with a variety of different people and people with many styles and ideas that could be brought to the table. There will also be the people that help me in the screen printing shop to get it right and get the numbers we want.**
 * This is not just a plan for now till the end of this semester, i plan on keeping it going and attempting to make it grow and expand my clientele. Out of this experience i am hoping to meet many different people, learn the works of how to make it, artistically and financially, and finally become the owner of a high end clothing line. i understand that the high end part is a little out of reach at the moment but i hoping this will put the first foot forward and give me a boost to getting closer to that point. At the end of this semester i will use my product to show the youth of today that if you have a dream and work at it and dont give up on it that it can come true.**
 * Like everything that is done in today's world, you must have a plan of how to go about what you wanna do. I myself have that plan. To start i will meet with my buddy mike to have a conference to start discussing what style of clothing we would like to aim towards and what the financial situation will be. After talking with mike we will begin cleaning out the space for the screen printing shop and move everything in. Now we can start, i will begin to learn the in and outs of screen printing and then begin mass producing shirts, we are aiming at 1000 shirts in about two days. Next, once the shirts are being made at a constant level i will do what i do best and network. I will go to areas around Philadelphia to different stores and work on getting some shirts sold in there store. I will also be attending art festivals and music festivals to sell my shirts at. I will also use my resources i have at the moment such as my advertiser, financial adviser, and my lawyer to make sure everything goes according to plan.**
 * Now a days**
 * There are a couple of things that you need to obtain to do anything you want to do. In my case there are quite a few of those things. I Will need a surplus supply of T- shirts in a variety of different colors. I will need many people backing and supporting my clothing line and decisions that are made with the clothing line, and to give me ideas and suggestions when they think i am not at the best of my ability. One of the main things i will need would be money, so i can purchase the supplies to build this line. I will have to take out bank loans and have my partner do the same and we will need my financial adviser to help us out with that and lead us in the right direction. Lastly i will need the most important piece of it all, Customers! With out these i will have no sales and a waste of money on my hands so i will go in depth to find connections and customers everywhere i go and maybe even go nation wide with my line.**

Research My topic of research is how t-shirts are used as social commentary. I chose this topic on account im am beggining to design my own clothing line and i would like to learn much more about how it can relate to social commentary. My essential question is; How are t-shirts used as social commentary? I have had no privious experience with this topic, but i have had experience in the field of creating deigns and t-shirts. I have not done this to use as social commentary and ould be very interested in doing this and seeing how the outcome shows to be. From my research and my professional experience i believe that i will benefit great as well as those i work with in the event of learning the ins and outs of screen printing.
