Default Art with a fade

I'm pretty excited. I got my first quotation request off my new website and it's from someone I don't even know. Sounds stupid, but I'm happy people are starting to find my site without me giving out my card or telling them my address.

Anyway, how do I do the fade on the inside of the circle using CorelDraw. I've pretty much only done straight spot color art with no gradients. Also, for forty shirts printed with a left chest design and a large back design, would it come out better being screenprinted or custom transfers?

You can use Radial Fountain Fill or Blend tool. Check this tools out with built in tutorial or built in help within the program. In my opinion with gradient design you can go either way. Check out what is the most economical. You can gang a custom transfer or screen print it. Gradient can get expensive depending on how many steps there are in the gradient. I do not do screen print but I think technically each step means one corresponding screen frame. Depending on how many shades of different color are in the gradient. I could be wrong. Or you can go with digital transfer if the shirt is light colored.
