how to sell t-shirt designs on the internet?

admin — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 07:17:11 +0000

How would someone sell designs on the internet? Instead of selling the shirt itself, I just want to sell designs or graphics for the shirt.

You can sell t-shirts at the following websites, plus you can buy your own t-shirts that you created as well. You upload a high resolution image of your artwork and the company will reproduce the artwork as t-shirts and other items. They will create and ship the items to your customers and pay you when someone buys your items. Also, do your research and make sure the company is reputable before giving out your personal information!

Is it ok to use symbols or characters from movies or video games as t-shirt designs?

admin — Wed, 11 Jan 2012 04:54:57 +0000

I started an online shirt store, and design my own graphics. I have seen many shirts out there with symbols or characters from video games or movies (i.e. hot topic, online t-shirt sites like ninja-bot.com), and just wondered if I can use these as well, original image or modified, or do I need to contact the source of the image and get consent? Even if it is a parody of the image? I have some good ideas for graphics, but I dont want to break some copyright laws or anything. example: could I take the heartless symbol from kingdom hearts and put it on a shirt, or is that a copyrighted symbol needing consent?

PS- a friend told me that as long as it is a parody of the image its ok, but I wasnt totally sure about this.

If you change the image, I would think it would be fine, but honestly the situation would be kind of risky still and if I were you I would stay well away from it. When you use an image intending for it to look like the characters/symbols straight from movies or video games, you could get into serious trouble. Profiting off of someone else’s copyrighted design is punishable by law and if you don’t have their express permission, your site will get shut down and you may get sued.

If I were you, I would stay with your own designs. Good luck.

What is a good software to design clothes and how could I Start make T-Shirts?

admin — Wed, 04 Jan 2012 06:17:47 +0000

Ive always had a good sense of fashion and recently I have been drawing up some t-shirt designs on my spare time. Now I want to start designing t-shirts on the computer and somehow put them on a t-shirt.
Also, I’m a 16yr Old male And I don’t have a Job, So what are some good ways to finance this?

I would get Adobe in design and use the pen tool to trace your designs to turn them into vector images. you can use the auto tool but the pen tool i think is more accurate. just scan your design into a computer as a jpeg and upload it to the computer. if the designs are too detailed for vector work a jpeg will be fine if the original scan is large enough to be printed without getting pixelated.
in design can be expensive depending how you buy it. adobe offers student and teacher discounts that are huge discounts. and there is a 30 day free trial. there are also ways to pirate it but i would not recommend this. you can get viruses or go to jail. plus its a good enough program that adobe deserves to get paid for it.
photoshop is also a great tool to use to design. you can make jpeg images. you can edit text… do just about anything you can think of to an image. this may be the path you want to go. CS5 has a new paint mode that is un beatable if you know what your doing. both of these programs are free for 30 days from adobe for you to try out.
you do need money to actually put the designs on a t shirt. the cheapest and by far the crappiest way to do this is to go to an office supply or paper store, and get iron on printer paper. its called transfer paper or t shirt transfer paper. you print out the image on an ink jet printer and iron it on a t shirt.
this you are left with buying the t shirt and buying the transfer paper. also keep in mind that you need different types of transfer paper depending on the shirt. and it will look like a glossy square with your logo on it and it will fade and crack after washing a couple times.
the method i use is to get someone to do my printing for me. its not expensive and they worry about the shirts and the printing and all you do is pay them and make the designs.
i made t-shirts $9 a piece but i ordered a lot at a time usual price is like 15 – 20. there sometimes is a one time fee for them digitizing the artwork. i dont know what this means and i think its just a way to get more money for them, this fee can be pricey but if you plan on selling your shirts its just another expense. where i go digitizing is $100. i have seen it $50 i have seen it $500. there are a few places i came across that dont charge this but the quality also isnt as good. and the turn around isnt as fast. Digitizing is a one time fee once you submit your artwork most places keep it on file and you just order the shirts then.

if you want to know the way i got all my start up cash to start my business this is it.

i had a huge yard sale. i sold all of my stuff that i didnt need anymore. guitars my drum set old stereo stuff. take electronic things and jewlery to a pawn shop and take all the clothes you dont need to platos closet. (its a consignment shop for clothing.) i raised $800 total in a couple of weeks just selling all of my crap. you probably wont need this much. i would say to start out you will absolutely need a safe 250 maybe less. you can get this in a weekend selling your shirts at a local popular park. one with open walking trails and picnic areas are good. places with a ton of foot traffic.
this will be 150 for the designing (the printing of the shirts plus the digitizing cost.) this will get you 4 shirts to wear or sell.

and it will leave $100 for marketing and sales supplies (hangers or display items.) what i would do is get a grated siding or a couple cheap 1/2" boards and make them stand like display racks. put hooks in them to hang hangers with your shirts so people can see them displayed to sell. make price tags on the hangers with masking tape and sharpies

Remember selling will be slow at first if you dont have the capitol for start up costs. selling different shirts in one size may not be as good as selling your 2 best designs with 3 sizes each, if your buying shirts for 16 a piece selling them at 18 may still not give you any profit. think about all your costs. food while your out the gas to get there the cost of the price tag. everything counts as an expense.

i found out it that if i was going to sell art in a park it will cost me $7 a day. if you buy shirts for 9 a piece and start selling them at 12 and sold about 2 shirts a day you wont make anything. if you sell them at 16 though you will break even for the day selling one shirt.

final piece of advice is to sell more than just shirts. if your really into your clothing designing that is fine. sell bags purses hoodies jackets and baseball caps too. most clothing printing places have all of these and more to provide to you at a low cost. of course hoodies and jackets are going to be a bit more than a t shirt but bags sell well and they usually are very cheap.

Good luck

What shirt companies let you make shirts with zebra print letters?

admin — Wed, 28 Dec 2011 05:39:08 +0000

I’ve tried several sites that say they let you but whenever I go to design my shirt online, it doesn’t let me put zebra print letters on the shirt.

Call Customer Service 1-800# and inquire about it there.

If I want something that badly? I’d do it myself. Get a fabric, applique them to my shirt by hand or machine. It could take me all day, but I’ve accomplished something that’s precious and unique.

What is a good program for making t-shirt designs for a band?

admin — Mon, 19 Dec 2011 02:21:16 +0000

I want to start working on making t-shirt designs and logos for my band, but I’m not sure how to get started. I’m not too talented at drawing, so I want to find a good program where I can fiddle around with stuff. Not one of those cheesy internet sites where you can design your own t-shirt, legit stuff.

Thanks!

I would recommend a Photoshop like program for that sort of thing. If you don’t already have one or don’t have the money to buy one, there’s an online photoshop program called Pixlr. [pixlr.com] It’s browser based, so you don’t need to download anything, and it has all the same functions as regular Photoshop. Then there’s also Gimp, which is a downloadable photoshop if you prefer something on your computer and not attached to the internet. You can download Gimp at http://www.gimp.org/downloads/ and you can usually find new brushes you can download from around the internet, and sometime from Deviant Art.

How can I get my shirt designs printed?

admin — Mon, 12 Dec 2011 05:25:04 +0000

I am looking to start designing my own t-shirt designs and selling the t-shirts. I know there are sites where you upload a design and earn a set amount of each sale, but what are the best ones? I would like to have quality t-shirts for as cheap as possible, obviously. Also, I would want to be able to order some for myself to sell to friends, etc. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

There are companies like ZOOm which print photos on the Tshirts…. you have give order with a photograph in one of these.
