Shirt Designs

I just need some useful advice or tips to get me going. How money did you start out with? Do you print your own designs or do you have someone else do it for you and what is good software for designing t-shirts?

thanks

The easiest and most inexpensive way to get into the t-shirt buisiness is to get a store on cafepress.com. All you would need is a graphics program like Adobe Indesign to design your t-shirt images for uploading.

We are having a promotion at work that is dealing with investments. The theme for the promotion is "do you have your ducks in a row?". I am trying to come up with a t-shirt design that has ducks on it and some kind of catchy slogan. I would like to just have something on the front left chest side of the shirt, and then have something bigger on the back of it. It somehow needs to coincide with the duck theme, and still be catchy.

Well this may be too obvious but it’s just an idea. Maybe on the front a small "cool" rubber ducky with dark sunglasses on and on the back a line of ducks like that. A quote on the back can have something to do with "Get it together" or "We help you get it together," "We get it straight," etc. Or the first duck can be the biggest duck, or a mother duck, and it can have the sunglasses on (or they can all have them). And if you have a group name or something like that you can put it on or near the big duck.

Ok, I’ve never done this in my life, and I’m pretty sure I’m not going to do to well with it, but I need to. I have to make a shirt for National Day Of Silence (fights against bullying toward LGBT students) because we don’t have time to order them. I really need some help ! How in the world do you do itt ?
I don’t even know what to use !

Go to Miceals or walamrt get iron on transfer paper you can either make you design with a computer and an ink jet printer or you can use a stencil. go to youtube it has lots of tutorials for this or check out websites on how its done.

As a project, I have to create a t-shirt design for Charles Dicken’s novel Great Expectations.
I’m completely stumped, because I don’t think there are many pictures that sum up this novel, at least none that are relatively easy to draw. Any ideas?

Maybe just Miss Havisham’s wedding cake or the leg irons.

Hey! I run a volunteer/community service club at my high school and it’s my job to design a t-shirt for the members. What kind of design would attract teenagers into buying the shirt, especially if they ain’t so spirited?

Thanks!

cool designs… make tem look more like a cool band’s concert tee…. maybe hold a school wide contest to design the shirt?

I am looking for a company online that sells bulk t-shirts without the tags and company name in the inside. I am selling my own t-shirts with designs and I want to put my own logo/tag on the shirt.

In the US, the law says the clothing must be delivered with a tag. If you are buying more than 5000, typically the company will sew your tag in place of their own. However, for less than that, you need to get it done after purchase. Most places that do the screen printing will also change the labels for around 25-cents each.

I want to make a shirt for my cousin and I want it custom, I know I can do it on the internet, but I would rather have a professional design it all in front of me. So do you know any places??

I live in Las Vegas now but I do remember a place like what you’re looking for…. Hmm.. if I remember it ill edit my answer and tell you. Good luck!

I am in completion at the moment for finishing my Media National Diploma after this I am taking a one year Art Foundation Diploma, I shall then progress to University. I love the mix between computer design/drawing and photography. I really want to get into band design, and album art maybe even t-shirt design as well? But which degree would allow me to then progress to my ideal job?

(I am based in the United Kingdom)

You don’t need a degree to design album covers. You need talent.

I have a good portfolio, 2 years experience under my belt, and I have an associates degree in design communications. How much should I be making at a screen printing company. I’m their only designer and work on a variety of ads, web pages, and shirt designs with ZERO complaints. I’m trying to figure out if I’m under paid and how much I should ask for a raise. Thanks!

Try http://www.salary.com/ You will need to plug in your own zip code for accuracy. Remember, it is an impersonal computer program, so make sure your job description is accurate.

I worked on these designs and entered them at Shirtfight.com. If you like them…would you vote for them please!?
