Why make someone customize
your shirt if you can make your very own shirt from start? The shirt will have
more value than any other expensive piece of clothing that you already have in
your closet. With your full intervention your shirt can look exactly the way
you plan it. The following are ways and steps that you can implementto design your own t shirt.
1. Determine the Design
When determining the design it
is important that you ask yourself what you the t-shirt will be best used for,
to go to what events and for what time of the day. Once you have taken note of
this, it will be easier to start creating the primary design of your t-shirt.
Don’t hesitate to make as many sketches as possible, keep the elements that you
like or throw out the designs that you feel are boring. Also keep in mind that
the design will be used for the many years to come hence keep the design up to
date.
2. Select the tone and theme
The tone should match the
theme. If you are making a t-shirt in attempt to support a campaign, you will
have to pay extra attention to the color that is used. Breast Cancer campaigns
are mostly in pink whereas fighting against narcotics and drugs use a different
color. If the t-shirt you are designing is for your personal purpose, avoid
using too many colors at the same. A clear design usually makes the shirt more
appealing than that of a thousand colors.
If you plan to design your own
t shirt and add digital media, never settle for anything less than
high definition pictures. The last thing you want is to print out a t-shirt
with pictures in blurry lines. Avoid this by referring to online picture stocks
that you can access for free. Be sure that you are not violating any
copyrights.
4. Don’t over-think
When creating a design it is
very common for someone to over think. The key is not to use up all the space
of the t-shirt especially when your design is not of a pattern. This keeps the
centre of the shirt the focal point. Avoid working on designs when you are not
in the mood, tired, under stress or in fatigue. A clear head absorbs and
digests better.
5. Ask friends for suggestions and second opinion
Of course asking for the
opinion of a friend you can trust to say judge your work honestly is a good
idea. Second opinions avoid you from making awkward t-shirt designs. A good
friend will tell you if it is ready for printing or best re-made from scratch.
6. Digitalize your design
Now that the design is at
hand, put them into a digital version, ready for printing.
7. Prototype and produce
Like a store always holds a
soft opening before they truly open for service, a prototype is important in
ensuring that your t-shirt is ready for mass-production or for wearing in
public. These are the steps to take if you wish to design your own t shirt!
