This year as part of the membership for the cheese society we are going to ask people for £5 for a membership, included in the membership will be a screen printed tote bag. The reason we have put the price up from £2-£5 this year is so we can buy more cheese and cover more cheese costs.
The pun for the bag will be 'cheese on tote', the initial thought from me and Hollie is to have the cheese melting on the toast, however when I actually drew out the type to make it look like it was melted it began to look quite spooky! We both didn't like the way it looked so decided against it not looking melted, I drew out the type again making it bubbly.
The tote bags are going to be two colours, a yellow halftone dot in the background to represent the cheese and the type and outline will either be in black, blue or brown, we are both un decided.
As we are screen printing tote bags I exposed an A1 fabric screen for the design to fit on comfortably. One problem we did have when screen printing is that we couldn't see where the bag was so when screen printing the yellow background onto the bag it was sometimes off centre.
Once the yellow was screen printed onto the 50 bags, it was even more difficult trying to line up the the type onto the yellow, this was a problem that we could do nothing about, it took along time just to line each bag up separately.
Overall I am happy with the way the tote bags have turned out, some are better than others and we accounted for ones that we messed up. We now have a good amount of bags to sell at our first event with the membership. The bags will also be good advertising for the cheese society in general. The remaining bags from the event will be kept in student union for people to purchase, and the bags will be taken to every event that we hold.
