Default Making a screen

Someone gave me a shirt that they want me to make. They don't have the graphic . How can I make a screen from just a shirt?

You'd have to recreate it in a graphics program or have a designer do such.

You could lay the design on a scanner then use photoshop to knock out the T-shirt and build the art.

You could take the scan and place it in Illustrator and use it as a pattern to recreate the art.

- try to search for their website. they might have their logo there.
- or search their name on the net for possible images.
- ask if they have their own letterhead.

otherwise, as John S have stated. scan the shirt the recreate the artwork using an image software.

dont ever forget to charge them for the artwork! =) good luck
