Default A few questions

Hello, I'm trying to get my t-shirt business started but am having a hard time locating the products and services needed to succeed. Keep in mind I'm in Ontario Canada... if that matters at all.

One of my main inspiratioins is Christian Audigier's t-shirts. I will probably start with something basic like this https://www.christianaudigier.com/pc...ture-gold.aspx.

Eventually I'd like to move into more complex designs such as this https://www.christianaudigier.com/pc...t-breaker.aspx and some of the other ones he has on the website.

Where can I find a well-priced, reputable company to handle this kind of work? And in the beginning... I won't be sending thousands of shirts at a time.

The best t-shirts that I have found are from TQM in Los Angeles Blank T-Shirts Wholesale T-Shirts California High End Blank T-Shirts Los Angeles CA Blank T-Shirts. I am looking for top quality blank t-shirts... would you say these are up there? Anything closer to my home?

As for needed software... am I right if I buy photoshop and Illustrator CS2?

I know I must be missing some things. T-shirts, photoshop and illustrator, a place to put my designs on the t-shirts, and a label maker. What am I missing?

Also, is there any recommended reading... based on anything from design-production? I have some great ideas and company name... but am having some problems putting it all together.

Thank you for any help you can provide. It will feel SO good to finally piece all of this together and to get working on making my designs a reality. You all seem to have it together, so I figured I was in the right place!

Take care,

Josh

Just search around in your local phonebook yellowpages and contact screen printers in your area.

It will take some learning, but yes, those software programs are perfect for t-shirt designing.

A way to sell the designs? A website? A marketing plan or advertising plan?

A business plan might be a good way to put all the pieces together.
