Talking Well, we did our first 4 color job.....

We did it! We finished up a 4 color shirt for a friend of ours - 48 black tees, with only white graphics on back and 4 color on front. My husband told the client we could get it done in two days, from design to finished shirts...we did it. I can't walk anymore, due to my legs about giving out from standing on the concrete in our porch turned workshop, and my hair is now gray ! I actually thought the job was about a C (I don't grade on the curve!), but after comparing it to the previous years' shirts (this was a college homecoming design), it was just as good (bad?) as those made by a more "seasoned" professional. So, I guess we did ok. The client was pleased. Next time, we're giving him a longer time frame, as well as a better price(better for us, LOL). There's no teacher like experience, I guess.

Looks good to me. Why only a C ? Did they supply the artwork?
