They do not have graphics software - you need to be able to upload a .jpg or .png file to your image basket. I use a program called serif drawplus which is free (or you can get the upgraded version for only $9.99) and it has been great. If you are familiar at all with microsoft office, wordart, and/or publisher you will find it really easy to use. No where near as complicated as photoshop and it does everything you need it to - it can create .png files easily with transparent backgrounds, and that is important when designing for black shirts.

Here is a link to the program - I am in no way related to this site - Vector Graphics, Illustration and Drawing Free Software Download - DrawPlus

Good luck - I love cafepress and this software program was a godsend - and simple to use too!
