Shirt Designs

Hey I could totally use some advice on a T shirt for our Environmental Club… Whatever we use for our T shirt we will have a similar cup design that we can give out to kids at our school to make them more aware, and saving plastic bottles at the same time :p

This idea may seem long but if it is put together right all the info will fit. Some parts of the print can be different..smaller or bigger, and you can scatter the info about in all different colors.

Black t-shirt with a pic of the earth on the front & the recycle symbol behind it.On the back ( in many different colors) it will tell about plastic as well as other things that you can recycle, along with how to recycle as well as fun facts.Here is what i think should go on the back at the top:

Plastic …What Does It all mean?

On the bottom of a plastic container is a triangle made out of arrows with a number inside of it, each number is a code and stands for one of 7different kinds of plastic,each is used to make different items.(be sure to put a triangle around the # so they know what to look for)

Plastic #1-Polyethylene Terephthalate (PETE): 2 liter soda bottles, cooking oil bottles, peanut butter jars.

Plastic #2-High Density Polyethylene (HDPE): detergent bottles, milk jugs.

Plastic #3-Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC): plastic pipes, outdoor furniture, shrink wrap, water bottles,bags, salad dressing and liquid detergent containers.

Plastic #4-Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE):dry cleaning bags, produce bags, trash can liners, food storage containers. Most grocery stores accept HDPE (#2) and LDPE (#4) plastic bags for recycling.

Plastic #5-Polypropylene (PP):bottle caps, drinking straws. Recycling centers almost never take #5 plastic.

Plastic #6: Polystyrene (PS):packaging pellets or "Styrofoam peanuts," cups, plastic tableware, to-go containers.Many shipping/packaging stores will accept polystyrene peanuts and other packaging materials for reuse.

Plastic #7-Other:certain kinds of food containers and Tupperware. This plastic category, as its name of "other" implies, is any plastic other than the named #1-#6 plastic types. These containers can be any of the several different types of plastic polymers. Recycling centers cannot recycle plastic #7. Look for alternatives.

PETE is the most commonly recycled household plastic.

Did you know it takes fourteen 20 oz. PETE bottles to make enough fiber for an XL T-shirt.
Fourteen 20 oz.PETE bottles to make 1 square-foot of carpet.
Sixty-three 20 oz.PETE bottles make a sweater.
Fourteen 20 oz.PETE bottles yield enough fiberfill for a ski jacket.
Eighty-five 20 oz.PETE bottles yield enough fiberfill for a sleeping
bag

Not all plastic can be recycled. The two most recyclable categories are numbers 1- PETE & 2- HDPE.

Upwards of 8 billion polystyrene and polycarbonate hangers clog our landfills every year. How many is 8 billion hangers? It’s enough to fill the Empire State building from basement to observation deck — 4.6 times! It is estimated that it would take from 800-1000 years for these plastics to break down in anaerobic landfills, and possibly longer. That’s 40 generations necessary to break down these plastics.
——————————–
Did you know?
* Americans throw away 2 million plastic bottles every 10 minutes.
* Plastic bottles take hundred or thousands of years to begin biodegrading.
* 150 billion plastic beverage bottles are produced each year. Recycling a ton of plastic bottles can save about 3.8 barrels of oil.
* 70-80% of plastic bottles are not recycled.
* 100 billion plastic bottles end up in landfills, roadsides, streams or oceans.
* The average American consumes 167 bottles of water a year.
* Bottled water is the second most popular beverage in the United States.
* A majority of containers today are made from plastic.

Plastic isn’t the only thing you can recycle.

Recycling a single aluminum can can save enough energy to power a television for three hours.
A used aluminum can is recycled and back on the grocery shelf as a new can, in about 60 days.
Recycling a three foot high stack of newspaper saves one tree.
Water pollution related to glass production can be cut by half when using recycled materials.

Here are just a few more things that can be recycled:
Clothes,Eyeglasses,Appliances,Computers and electro

I have an online T-shirt store & need to know what limitations I have printing Trade Marks(ie. Transformers/old cartoons) and selling them. Do I have to get authorized or pay royalties? Thanks in advance
Thank you Huh?… How would I go about getting authorization or approved designs to be able to print them myself? Google search isn’t yielding any real answers. A site like 80stees.com has tons of Hasbro owned TMs on there, how do they do it?

You need to be authorized to sell a trademarked item.

Sometimes you can obtain those rights easily, for example if you buy iron-on decals from an authorized distributor that has the trademarked characters on them, you can sell them. However you may not airbrush a trademarked character onto a shirt without a license from the trademark owner.

I once owned a shop that sold cakes. If we bought a overlay for the top of the cake with a Disney character on the cake that was OK, but if you came into the shop with a picture of a trademarked character and requested that we recreate the picture onto a cake we couldn’t do it.

Edit:
If you want to use the trademarked character you will have to contact the trademark holder and negotiate a licensing deal. It will mean paying royalties and possibly some control over the content of your tee shirt designs. For example Disney isn’t going to let you use a design showing mickey mouse holding a beer bottle and cigar.

What is the artwork specification of a full t-shirt design?
I want to make a t shirt design that covers the whole front side of a t shirt, from the shoulders all the way down to the bottom part. What would be the best size to design this in? Thanks

Try researching cafepress or other t-shirt design websites. They can probably give you more detail on sizes & designs. Also check with local crafts stores (like Michael’s & Joann Fabrics) they have a lot of printable fabric or fabric markers & iron on ideas for t-shirts & other clothing.

so im making a design for a tee shirt and i need a little help for the designs and themes

i wanna do some stuff like this

some random and funky cool stuff
please tell me your ideas and links ty!!!

I’m a t-shirt designer… well part time anyway.. and the one thing i always remember when doing a shirt that’s edgy.. is layers… use lots of layers in photoshop… you might want to create some of the hard edged elements in illustrator and then bring them into photoshop.. which is what i do…

you can check out my designs here if you want some inspiration… www.gary.klepticsy.com

have fun…

At my school we have this thing called the "AVID program."
The AVID students are required to make a shirt design.Whoever has the best one gets their design picked to be put on the shirt.
here is the site (look at the icon at the top!) > www.AVIDonline.org
Any suggestions?i cant decide on what to make the design!

I would like to help but I need more information… When thinking about designs, you have to consider who will use the design. What is the purpose of the design (what message should it convey). What are the limitations (colors, cost, materials, etc. And what type of audience will the design be presented to.

There are so many ways you can present that logo… but the best design depends on the factors mentioned above.

If you edit your question with those details included I’m sure you will get some really good proposals.

I’m looking for a girls, small-sized Strokes band shirt with a cool design. Preferably from a reliable, cheap website. Links, please?

Thanks!
Can someone give me a specific link from a reliable site that actually sells this t-shirt?

Recommend Amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2F&tag=topfivproinf-20&linkCode=ur2&camp=1789&creative=9325

I think i thought of a cool t-shirt idea and i havent seen it any where else and i wanna sell it to a company. If that is at all possible. What do ya think anyone know of how to do this?

I don’t know how to do it, but I have an idea also…let me know if you find out…..thanks

I’m trying to find one of those online t-shirt makers where it’s cheap to order small amounts.I have a design in mind and I have made it on different sites, but most of them require me to buy a minimum of 6 (or more) and then the shirts end up costing 30 dollars per shirt. I don’t have a set price, but obviously, the cheaper the better.

I realize it’s not exactly what you asked, but did you know you can make iron-on designs with your inkjet printer? All it requires is a special paper made by Hewlett Packard and a cheap home iron. Twelve sheets of paper costs about $16, then you have to buy the shirts. See here: http://www.shopping.hp.com/product/C6049A

Im in a contest to make a t-shirt and I have to email the person a picture of the design, so what is a website where you can design a shirt and then save the picture? I dont want to order it?

Cafepress.com

Get creative. Would it be…
Your favorite Band or singer?
Could be your #1 Movie or TV Show.
OR maybe a funny saying…
Video game, comic book hero.
What would make this the coolest tee shirt that you would wear all the time???
AND when your wearing it everyone would ask…"Where ja get that?"

Thanks!
