I am looking to start a clothing company, how do you design the shirts on the computer?

Posted on January 15th, 2010 by admin in design shirts | 2 Comments »


Heres a list of sites that let you do that. Some of them even give you the tools to start your own website. http://createshirts.blogspot.com/
So it might be good to set up a website first with their shirts on it, and then start selling the designs you think will sell to learn how the business works and everything. Then use some of that money to start your own company and once you get alot of visitors to the site, you can just take off all the other companies shirts and make it all your shirts so you can keep 100% of the profits.

Heat transfer or silk screen for photographic t-shirt designs?

Posted on January 15th, 2010 by admin in shirt designs | 2 Comments »

I’m starting a t-shirt business with my own designs, comprised of 150-300dpi photographic collages. Some designs are full color and others black/white positives with a single color tone. I intend to print them on black and dark color garments.

Here’s a picture for reference – http://yfrog.com/31samplafmdesignsj

Which method should I use, heat transfer or silk screen?

appreciate any help, thx
sublimation?

Silk screening will provide the most durable images. A good silk screened image may out last the shirt, itself.

Yes, it’s a lot of work to produce the screens and do the actual printing yourself, but that’s why designers tend to hire out the actuall printing to a professional shirt printer. The costs tend to be nearly cancelled out, the greater the volume of shirts ordered.

For smaller runs, of, say one to twenty shirts, the heat transfers may be more economical, and well within the capabilities of a designer’s home studio. Just be aware that those buyers who recognize quality will also know a heat transfer from a silk screen and will only be willing to pay a correspondingly lower price per shirt.

Interestingly, people, even conniseurs, are willing to pay the highest prices for custom airbrushed shirts, even though airbrushed designs are about the most fragile and ephemeral of wearable images. But then, they are paying for one of a kind, original artwork and not some mass produced images.

Quality is hard to define.

Where can I get good a good custom-designed t-shirt?

I want to order a t-shirt online that I can design myself. I want a really simple design, like "I (heart) so-and-so". A lot of the places don’t have the t-shirt styles I’m looking for, though. Where can I design a quality shirt that is form-fitting and a junior fit?

Thanks in advance!

www.customglamgirl.com! great site, lots of variety.

I design things on Photoshop, but want to materialize my designs on pro-quality Tee-shirts. How can I do this?

I want to make T-Shirts to depict my photoshop designs. Who do i take them to. I ultimately want to start a clothing line.

If you are just wanting to make a couple one-off t-shirts, check out www.CafePress.com which deals extensively with photoshop-created shirts. You can also sell your shirts through that website as well.

As stated, most screenprinters can digitally transform any design into a shirt, but it is wise to stay with vector art just in case. Use Adobe Illustrator to create your artwork and your headaches will disappear. Check out www.good-tutorials.com for some basic and advanced Illustrator tutorials.

How can I get a t-shirt design printed?

Posted on January 12th, 2010 by admin in shirt design | 2 Comments »

I have a t-shirt design that’s a little rough around the edges but I was looking to get many of them printed. I have tried to design the shirt online but the problem is I would like to match the colors exactly. What is the best way to do this?

I actually own a T-shirt design business. send me an email and I can put whatever you want on a T-shirt and throw it on my website for you. if you don’t want anyone else to have it i can take it down after you order.

Take a look at my site, my e-mail is in the site description.

Help to design a tee shirt?

Posted on January 12th, 2010 by admin in tee shirt design | 5 Comments »

Well, I’m going to make my own little "tradition", Free Compliment Friday, and I’ve decided on making a t-shirt or two to wear on Fridays.

So, I’m wondering, where can I find some stuff to design a t-shirt. Do they have like glitter or stuff that’s made for tees?

Also, do you have a certain fabric paint that you find is really like durable or stays on and doesn’t smudge when washed?

Thank you(:

I would go to a craft shop like Michael’s or Joann’s. They have a section for this and there are lots of ideas. The paint I use comes from Joann’s and is called 3d paint- Scribbles. There are tons of colors and glitters to choose from. It is very easy to use and does not wash out. you do need to let it set for 24 hours. You can iron on transfers. Get beads and sew them on. You can even put you favorite photo on the shirt. they have the kit to do that with a copying machine. Look where you would find quilting books and tools. You can even use buttons and patches. In the children’s sections of these stores they have crayons that you can use on fabric. You can even buy "fat quarters" material and cut out any shape or design you want and glue it on the t-shirt. There is fabric glue that you can find in the same section as the paints and transfers.You can also sew these designs on.

Besides these three, are there others out there that would do what I want it to do? I have also heard of Paint.net & Gimp. And have heard alot of good about Gimp. I am looking for something to download for free. Money is tight at my house.

I suggest Adobe Illustrator
