 Re: Trends 2008
Big will be big in 2008. I'm investing heavily in my business to gain the ability to screen print over sized designs.
At the same time, i think full color (process color) is an area of the market which has much more demand than qualified printers to produce it. My prototype shirts have gotten a fantastic response.
Shirt design needs to move on from the skulls. Much of this follows the music industry, where skull prints are top sellers much the way the Beatles and zeppelin once again are topping the charts. My bet is on a band named the bastard suns. My worker is the lead singer, so they have been handy to use to testing and it greatly helps the band to have merchandise. I've been working with them for a couple years and am always amazed and pleased when i see my earliest shirts still being worn and have obviously been worn to death. Many bands need merchandise. People love band shirts. We can't wait till we can produce oversized full color prints on black shirts!
Big, bold, colorful and something with a real meaning.
