About Me

Hi, my name is Neela, and I'm an aspiring creative. I'm trying out all sorts of things right now including graphic design, photography, t-shirt design, web design, and anything else that grabs my attention. I created this blog in order to keep on track with my career path and keep my skills updated. So far, so good. :)

Dreaming Up a Bookstore

When I think about selling my t-shirts in the future, my thoughts stray much further than to whom I would sell them to. Practically, those ideas may or may not work, but I have a lot of fun thinking about them. For example, I think it would be fabulous if I had a little boutique to sell them in. And for every t-shirt I sell, a portion would go toward a children’s literacy organization. For this reason, I’m imagining a little store that looks like a bookstore.

Packaging
Every tee would be packaged in a box that opens like a book (similar to the one below). The cover would look like a novel or a children’s story book.



Window Displays
If you walked by the store, you would think it was a bookstore. The window would have the t-shirt packaging on shelves along with pictures of the t-shirts in frames. 



In-store Displays
When you walk in, there would be a large catalogue (the size of a regular newspaper) on display for customers to flip through the different t-shirt designs. This would make their shopping experience easier.

Atmosphere
The atmosphere of the store would be family-friendly and inviting.

Target Audience
The typical customer may be someone who likes to read or would like to explore a new book. This audience would be likely to support the cause of children’s literacy. 

This is just the beginning though. First things first: work on those t-shirts :)
