How do I make a shirt design look damage treated in Photoshop?

Posted on October 3rd, 2009 by admin in shirt design | 2 Comments »

We’re doing T-shirt designs and I want to make the picture on mine look old and damaged. However, I do not know how to achieve this effect in Photoshop. If anyone could point me to a good tutorial or tell me how themselves, it would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

well first of all, t-shirt designs should be created in or at least printed from Illustrator. If your doing this as a limited color screenprint ESPECIALLY! If it is a CMYK full color print, Photoshop is OK to use. Basically you will want to create a texture/pattern in black and white. and then use some layer transparency options to get it how you want it.

I’d do a search for photoshop tutorial and grunge effects. Most designers create their own textures, but I think u may be able to find some online. TONS of photoshop tutes out there just google it! :)
