Description: I created many different designs for many different clients through Cradle Gear USA. Most of the clients were schools and other companies. When a client came to us, I would design different apparel designs for the clothing articles that the client wanted. I would design these designs in Illustrator to the scale of the clothing. I would then take this design into Photoshop and create a mockup of the clothing article. I would make the clothing article match the exact color of the apparel the client was purchasing. After creating the mockup, I would take it into Indesign and create a proof for the client. The proof gave the pantone colors that were used along with measurements of the graphics. The proof was then sent back to the client for them to approve it or ask for a revise. When the client decided to order the product, I would make sure the design was suitable for the process (sublimation or transfer/screenprint). I would then pick colors from the swatches on that specific fabric to match the colors that were originally used. After changing the colors in the final Illustrator and Indesign documents, it would be sent to the manufacturer to be produced.
