T-shirt design is getting to be noticeably a standout amongst the most mainstream outlets for creatives. Whether you're an illustrator, visual designer or typographer, the thought of having your design on a T-shirt is a pretty cool concept.
Be that as it may, the procedure can be a daunting thought. Thankfully, Mike Ng of SOYU T-shirt designs has taken time out of his bustling calendar to bring you 10 professional tips for T-shirt design.
01. Take your time and investigate your concept
Sketch it out, go for a walk, create a couple of variations, have something to eat, do a full brainstorming process. Then consider it. What's more, do it over once more. In the event that it comes to you straight away, great. But investigate other options just in the event that.
02. Envision the design on a shirt
Having taken a shot at both print and web throughout the years. I know the vast distinction between design on screen and a printed piece. Don't be hesitant to deride it up on a photo of a model, print it out if fundamental and place it on an actual tee, and obviously create your artwork at actual size.
03. Detail is above all else but keep things basic
Everybody appreciates great attracting ability and attention to detail. There is nothing better than seeing a truly first rate masterpiece on a tee, that you can study for quite a long time.
But similarly, probably the most great designs have been the simplest and get the message crosswise over through their simplest shape. Anyplace in the center and you may struggle to convey a fruitful design.
04. Consider your market
This is an important one. It is safe to say that you are designing for male or female, youthful or old? At the finish of the day you're designing a product that you want individuals to wear. Like a decent marketeer would do, write down the exact individual you want to attract to your design – their identity, what they like, what other brands they like and go from that point.
05. Keep your funniness subtle
In case you're going for a funny designs you don't want it appearing to be a modest and minimal effort joke shirt. Indeed, even the most fruitful uproarious and in your face designs have subtle amusingness. I'm for the most part not a fanatic of 99 for each cent of silly tees, but done correctly it can turn heads! I'm burrowing Brad McGinty's designs at the moment since he has a decent adjust.
06. About shading!
Utilize the T-shirt shading effectively and try picking complementary hues. In case you're utilizing Adobe Illustrator, turn on Worldwide Hues. It's an absolute lifeline and will spare you so much time. You can likewise utilize Halftones to benefit as much as possible from the restricted hues you're permitted to utilize.
07. Set up your artwork legitimately
Utilize Pantone Hues when screen printing, the printers will love you for it. They'll likewise cherish you in the event that you outline text and extend any strokes you may have. There are plenty of good tutorials out there relying upon whether you're utilizing Illustrator or Photoshop.
08. Source a decent printer
So your design is done and legitimately artworked, but your tee may be as ever as great your printer. You can give a shout over to a reputable organization like White Duck or you could even call your neighborhood screenprinter. But it's important to take time to find out about what type of tee you want to print on.
The weight, the sizes, the marking options, cost, etc, all affect the finished result. This takes a while and will oblige addressing different organizations, but one thing is for certain... manage an organization who wants to treat your tee as an end retail product and will deal with your work with care. Screenprinting is an art.
09. Get Educated
To have a decent understanding of anything, you have to study it and understand it's context. Tees have left every subculture marvel that has ever existed whether it's tees from groups, skateboarders, street art, sports hybrids or general popular culture.
10. Be on the ball
Be motivated by what the latest trends are but don't duplicate them. Odds are when you have seen that T-shirt delivered, other designers are proceeding onward to something else away from plain view.
After almost a time of on-and-off auditioning of different pedestrian-level tees I've settled on American Attire. Amid that time I've additionally tried:
Costco/Kirkland
Professionals Texture quality and thickness are decent. Medium a decent fit for me after hot wash and dry.Cons Cut colossal and just accessible in M or greater. Extremely blousy from midsection down. WIDE jewelry and cut long, covers almost my entire ass. Looks especially like an undershirt.
Crevice "Best", Hanes "Perfect", Target/Mossimo Athletic
Didn't significantly bother with these, texture too thin.
American Attire
Aces Decent texture quality and thickness. Huge in heather dim and dark colored are a decent to excellent fit for me in chest, shoulders, and arms after a hot wash and dry. After a bit of minor tailoring (see cons beneath) they fit pretty much perfectly, hitting top-to-mid bicep and consummation at about the top-third of my back pockets.Cons Significant variation in cut/measure contingent upon shading. Naval force and white, the other two hues I claim, are 1-1.5" more extensive in the sleeves (laying flat) than dark or darker, all size L. Likewise, these shirts are the ubiquitous tube shape so they are completely straight here and there. This implies a solid match in my chest and shoulders will likewise give me a tent-like midsection, so all my AA shirts require a taper starting from the chest by 2" to settle this.\
American Attire measurements (heather dim, Huge, post hot wash+dry)Chest (pit to pit) 20"Shoulders 18"Sleeve length (from top shoulder crease) 8"Sleeve width 6"Length 27.5"
