The document discusses ideas for t-shirt designs focused on themes of Marilyn Monroe, music artists like Nicki Minaj and Lady Gaga, and Disney characters styled after celebrities. It proposes a t-shirt design featuring a Marilyn Monroe quote over a black and white photo of her with her lips colored, as well as her face with colored lips and eyes against magazine covers in the background. Details on the file format, target audience, and deadline are also provided.

3. Idea Generation
Theme:
When looking on Redbubble for
inspiration I came across a few themes
which I liked, for example I like the
theme of Marilyn Monroe and Nicki
Minaj. I have different themes in mind,
like having a quote from Marilyn
Monroe and putting in a picture of her
behind the writing or having a quote
from here with the writing shaped out
like her face.
Marilyn Monroe:
One of my ideas was Marilyn Monroe. I
thought about having one of her quotes
and behind the quote having a picture of
her in black and white and just having her
lips and eyes in colour to make them
stand out. Another idea was to have her
face then another quote of hers outlining
the shape of her face. However I also like
the idea of having her face in black and
white then adding colour to certain parts
of her face to make them stand out more.
For all these designs I would keep the t-
shirt black as the pastel colours I was
thinking of using will stand out more
against the black.
Music:
I also thought about having a picture
of a famous music artist with either
some lyrics of theirs or the name they
call their fans. For this I would having
the t-shirt white and try and find a
picture of the artist which is not used
often and keep the colours bright and
eye catching to make the t-shirt more
appealing. Examples of music artists I
was thinking about was Nicki Minaj,
Lady Gaga or Rihanna as they are all
well known and quite popular.
Disney:
Another idea that I found was having a
Disney character, for example Minnie
Mouse and making her look like a
celebrity like Lady Gaga or having
Hello Kitty and changing her to look
like a singer. The t-shirt will be black as
the colours I was thinking of using will
all be bright and they will stand out
more against the colour black. I could
also have Micky Mouse and make him
look like Michael Jackson because he
was a well known singer.

Content
I am planning to make a t-shirt based on Marilyn Monroe as she is well known and a lot of people like her. I have come up with two
ideas. The first one is a quote of her over the top of a picture of her. The image will be black and white and only her lips will be in
colour. My second idea is to have her face with her lips and eyes coloured and everything else in black and white. I have then
decided to add magazine cover she has been in behind her face with a low opacity so you can still see her face, I will do this on a
white t-shirt as I think this will look much better as her face is quite pale on the picture I am using.

Advantages; compatible with Redbubble, can save transparency and lowered opacity
Disadvantages; larger file size than similar formats such as JPEG
Audience
My target audience is older people, around the age of 20 and 40, this is because they will more likely know who Marilyn Monroe is
and her quotes. The T-shirts will be more for females who like Hollywood actresses.
