Trip to the Smith and Gibson shirt factory in Derry





On Friday I visited the Smith and Gibson Shirt Factory in Derry. I am currently working on designing a digital print pattern for a competition being run by them. Seeing the factory was a hugely beneficial experience as I got to understand the whole process of how their shirts are put together from pattern cutting to being packaged. It made me more aware of the industry and showed me important elements that I will have to take on board and consider when designing my pattern. 
I really like the location of the factory and loved how you could see out onto the river and the city from it. Above are some images that I took in the factory.
