My past life as a tshirt illustrator

The first fulltime job I had as a designer was at a company outside of Halifax named Golden Screen Print. My job was to create the working files used to create the 'screens'. This would involve a combination of illustration (by hand), create lettering (by hand or with Letraset) and then combine all of these onto a film for each colour to be used for the actual screen printing. This was all done prior to having Macs in the studio, and any adjustments to sizing had to be done by using the process camera and darkroom. Below are a few examples of the original designs that I created.
