Traditionally, the students design a front image (usually as part of the Creative Arts Curriculum or an in-school competition) and we transfer this image onto the screen for printing.
On the back of the t-shirt is a list of names, whether arranged neatly or randomly placed, signifying the students who completed the year. The teachers usually get a look in - whether comically or serious - with the year and the class name.
Different schools choose to emphasis different aspects of the year group but the most popular has easily been the "We're out of here" theme. That is, "Let's kiss this school goodbye and move forward to the future" - more or less!
I don't think the creativity of the design is what matters, nor what order the names are in - it is simply that you can get a t-shirt to signify the completion of one part of your life - something to say, "That's right, I've made it... and I got this t-shirt!"

In my quest to discover more environmentally friendly suppliers, I have come across Moral Fibre.
They supply 100% organic, ethically grown & sewn garments including t-shirts, aprons and carry bags.
What is beautiful about this company is that practice what they preach. Billie Paris (business partner of Moral Fibre) is down-to-earth and honestly cares about making a difference in the world.
I love that they contribute 10% of profits to female leaders who are striving for gender equality.
I love that have real cred; they have the legal proof that all of their garments are made in agreement with the Fair Trade Standards.
And finally, I love them because they are BEAUTIFUL – inside and out; in their actions, in their personalities, in their character and most importantly, in life!
I am proud to say that Zulu Graphics will partner with Moral Fibre as one of our suppliers. We are able to print and embroider all of their products.
These products are more expensive than those from Johhny Bobbin or Ramo, but surely it is worth it.
Why not let your business be defined by the decisions it makes, as well as the product and the service?
Why not let your band make a statement about what you believe in?
Please, browse through their shop but, if you are looking to get decorated products, please email me for a price; if you buy through us, we can offer a discounted product and decoration rate.
Why not start an ethical movement with your next screen printed shirt?

Let's take a jump back in time...
The year is 2006.
Brokeback Mountain won best picture and Superman Returns.
Melbourne hosted the Commonwealth Games.
Brothers and Sisters was born. So was Ugly Betty.
West Coast Eagles and the Broncos were premiers. So was Morris Iemma
I was in year 12. We had a fluoro day. It was not fashionable...and fluoro was really hard to find.
Since 2006, fluoro seems to have taken a big fashionable leap into department stores. You can buy fluoro everything from almost anywhere and you can wear it wherever and whenever you want.
Now, Ramo has released the fluoro hoodie in lime, hot pink and yellow. Why not check it out here?
They have also just introduced a wide range of hoodies for the 2008 Winter season.
I am going to order a fluoro hoodie... you never know when I might be crossing the road in the dark and be saved by the brightness of my fleecy.
And it never hurts to look on the bright side :)

Soccer season is here and to celebrate I have uploaded our stubby catalogue.
My favourite would be the sublimation stubby (full colour printed). You can check it out at http://www.cdi-range.com.au/CDI-N03.htm. The possibilities are unlimited with this one - you can put photos of your pet, or your football team or your family! And in some cases it works out cheaper then a one colour stubby print; so why wouldn't you...
Enjoy!
