IDT 516 Final Project Proposal

My idea for my final project is create a training activity for the employees at my job.  I work as graphic designer at a silk screening company.  My training activity will be an instruction lesson on how to silk-screen a t-shirt.  Screen printing is a printing process where an image is created on a framed mesh screen by exposing a photosensitive glue-like emulsion all around the image. The lesson will include Web 2.0 technologies like video and web applications.

We will be using a A 6 color 6 station manual rotary screen printing press with micro registration. This lesson will be administered in 3 steps.
1. Spread Emulsion
2. Set Up the Exposure Unit and Expose the Screen
3. Print



Each step will include a video tutorial on that process and a short evaluation at the end to test the learner’s comprehension at the end of that process.

  1. This sounds like a great idea. I will be interested to see which Web 2.0 technologies you decide to use.

  4. Back in 1985-91 I owned a sporting goods store. We sold teams their uniforms every year. I had six silk screeners who did the teaam logo and numbers on the shirts of little and teener, softball league, and individuals. A good silk screen company was important to get quality work done. Red tops with pink (white) were not acceptable to my customer. The company who followed your procedure gave me quality work and I did not have to eat the cost of a poor silk screen job. A poor silk screen job made our store look bad.
