Shirt Designs

T-shirt Business?
Im a single 20 year old mom of a one year old. curently Im not working, After taking a year off of highschool ( I had a difficult pregnancy) I am finally graduateing in june. I start college in July im majoring in fashion design. I have a passion for designing things. I love to add things to my shirts and jeans to make them pop. I need a way to make money because I will be going to school full time. I know designing shirts is something I can do And people will buy. Me and my friends buy graphic Tees all the time. But how do I go about starting it? Where will I sell at? How much of an investment would I need? Is it possible to get a small business grant, If so how? What sort of advertisment would I need?

I live in Detroit mi?

maybe before you start trying to get a loan try making some shirts and if your town has a local fair see how well they do there and also make a few and see if any local stores will carry them for a small profit, b/c they will wnat a little something. I don’t mean a popular store like old navy but maybe a mom and pop clothing store to start.

I sent my design to get a screen made and I got this e-mail back…

Hi Wes,
We received your artwork but all the designs were sent at 72 dpi which is designer pricing. We need art to be at least 300 dpi. A jpeg is always designer pricing also. Multiple colors need to be vectorized so we can color separate it.
Thanks for contacting Ace

Can someone tell me how to fix my design? *NOTE* I only have Photoshop CS2

THANKS!

We are sponsoring an International T-Shirt Design contest. We have put up adds on Craigslist… but Craigslist hates multipost. The T-shirt design is for the Beer Drinkers Union. http://www.beerdrinkersunion.com . T-Shirt Design Contest Details are available on the site. We are currently a non profit movement.

I’m on student council and we all have to make a t-shirt design with something that has to do with the class of 2011. our mascot is the eagles. our school is cchs. the color of the t-shirt can either be orange, lime green, white, or brown. It doesn’t have to include them all though. I need a design by tomorrow at 5:30. No one had an idea but the only idea that i did have is a picture of an eagle on the front with his mouth open, trying to eat something off the back of the shirt, then on the back have class of 2011, but the 1’s are worms. If anybody has any more ideas or anything it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks soo much!!!

your idea sounds awesome! something different

The site needs to let me be able to design and buy my own tshirt and then buy it for an inexpensive price.

By the #1, you can put what you want.

I’m trying to make an Above the Influence hoodie, but whenever I finish it says you must order at least six. I don’t want six.

Anyone know any other websites?

I am a graphic design student and I designed 10 shirts in adobe illustrator.
These are for my senior project and I was wondering if anyone could recommend a place.
Online is ok, if anyone knows of a place in Miami or Fort Lauderdale that would be best.

I am doing a fundraiser for the arthritis foundation and I want to know if this is a good shirt for me to make to wear at the event.

I may have arthritis but arthritis doesn’t have me

Sounds encouraging, good for an arthritis foundation I’d say. I like it. it reminds me of those commercials that are like " Don’t let (xxxxx) control your life! Use (yyyyyy)!" But a bit better, so yeah

A club at my school found a t-shirt design online and they wanted to use it as the club shirt. I was a little hesitant and they said not to worry they would change it up a little. (The design is a word search type thing and they said they would mix up the letters.) I am still hesitant that that might be an infringement on copyright, but am not sure. Can anyone tell me what copyright law says about this?

I would think that if you are not using the whole of the design and are changing it, that you would be fine. Although it might be Misappropriation, which is where an audience can tell that there are major similarities. It also depends on if you plan on selling it. If that is the case I would be very careful. If not, and you are just using it for a club logo, I think you would be fine.

Id like to add a little variety to my wardrobe. Ive made tie dye and splatter, which are really cute, but id like to make more shirts.

I have mad SO many unique Tees because of this video. You can also alter the shirt so it look uber funky. Enjoy
