different design between a shirt and a poster?
well recently i made a t shirt, or what i thought was, design and my friend pointed out that it looks like it looks more like a poster than design rather than a shirt design.
so i was wondering, what do you guys think about what would fit more as a shirt design and/or a poster?
because lately ive been designing stuff(shirts) for my school. also, they would look better as posters but they just make "ok" shirts and i just want tips on how to make better "shirt" concepts sorry if i’m horrible at explaining
Your friend may be full of crapola.
There is no standard for designs distinguishible as appropriate for shirts and those for posters. It may be that some of you tee shirt designs may ALSO make good posters. In which case … GOOD FOR YOU! Good design is good design.
Why do you suppose so many hot looking sports cars are printed on tee shirts. No one is going to point out one of these and say, "That is well designed car. It does not fit as a subject for a tee shirt. It should only remain as a car." Of course, that would be stupid!
If your shirts, in your opinion and that of others, only "look OK" as shirts, then they will probably only look OK as posters, too.
