Default T-Shirt Graphics?

I am much interested in T-Shirt graphics. Just wondering what ate the best ways to them and what tools do I need?

What factors would I need to consider while creating T-Shirt graphics?

If anyone has any good ideas, please pass on.

Hi dealrocker,

I am not sure what you are looking for, really. Are you asking what software is good for creating tshirt graphics in? Where to find clip art? Etc?

Or are you asking for something like, where do folks find inspiration for designs, or what are good design elements to consider when creating graphics?

Thanks for any additional info you can provide.

Some of the factors that you need to take into account when creating t-shirt graphics are your intended target audience, production costs, proposed retail price and potential sales outlets.

On a practical level you need to think about your method of print, especially the number of colours used and the likely quantitities you will be producing. You can do this two ways. Create your designs first, then choose the best print method, alternatively choose your print method, then create your designs to match your manafacturing capability.

We all do things in different ways, but be sure to work out some costings, before you consider buying equipment, or t-shirts.

also: at what level of artist or designer are you? if you are a beginner this is a great resource for info on this industry. if you can draw and are looking to put your ideas onto tshirts you can either do it yourself along with a computer system with graphics software installed and maybe one or two peripherals (scanner difinitely). or you can have someone take your ideas and do the production part for you. of course please ignore if you already know this.

if you are asking what are the best software apps (or most popular) people use to accomplish this: illustrator, coreldraw, and photoshop. learning any of these programs will go a long way in achieving what you want in tshirt graphics. (and there are numerous threads on this topic, just use the search function above to look up specific topics). -peace and good luck.
