Progress from March 31st to April 15th:
The winner has been chosen and we know which hat we’re going to be making! The wheels have started to turn in the heads of our design and production department as we plan our ‘race’ strategy.
At Sauce Headwear when we determine our strategy we have to consider some of the following points:
ü How to buy our materials and stay within our budget!
ü When to order all of our supplies so that we finish the race in time.
ü What kind of extras and trims might look cool on the hat (ie: a pom-pom, or a heat transfer?) We also have to run these ideas by CCC, and Elliott to make sure that they approve!
ü Because this design is not abstract like some of the other designs that were in the contest, it requires some special planning with respect to the cutting of the fabric and the placement of the design on each hat.
· For example, if the winning design had been a random mix of lines or circles, it would not have mattered how they were distributed on your head. It would look pretty much the same no matter which angle you looked at it!

· For the igloo design to appear as an igloo, the layout matters. We need to make sure that the door of the igloo is always on the font and centre of your forehead!
ü Now that we’ve determined our strategy, the next step is to send the artwork to our graphic designer so that she can turn the drawing into something called vector artwork (more on that later), and present us with some digital representations of the finished product.
