Sorry to sound ignorant, I am really new to all this:
I am doing most if not all of my design work on Illustrator and Photoshop.
Will my design essentially be the same, once it goes to print on a shirt. For instance, let's say I have lettering, "Collection". If I want the word "Collection" to come through looking weathered and all crumbly looking, would I have to make it that way on Illustrator? Or, does the screenprinter do that? And, some of my letters/designs are faded, different tones, etc, different opacities on Illustrator.... will it come out that way on print?
I am familiair (somewhat) with old, hand-made silk screens. I am not up to date whatsoever on modern technology and what can and can not be printed, and how to actually bring it to the printer.
I just dont want to make designs on the computer with different opacitys and different styles (as in a very weathered look) if the printer is going to tell me if doesnt matter.
I was looking at these shirts at www.domrebel.com and i like the look of these being all beat up, etc. Can I take these to a printer and they can do that look with the paint,etc., or am going to have to print these on my own with my own screen printer?
Sorry for so many questions.....
