One more question, I've had people send me images from google that are clearly copyright and unusable... like a picture of a shirt with a design. I don't want to tell people no I can't do something.... but if I don't have a template that they like, and they don't have an actual file with a design, is it normal to offer graphic design services? I feel like I've spent more time piecing together graphics than anything. It feels like a huge waste of my time. I prefer they just give me the design instead of some crap cell phone screenshot that I can't work with and have to spend hours re-creating.
How can I clearly demonstrate what is needed from them for me to make a custom shirt? Without sounding like I can't or don't want to help them.
The printing store here is infamous for telling people they can't print stuff... because it's not good enough quality, there is no bleed area, etc. I don't want to place a bunch of restrictions and lose business on account of it.
But I don't want to print a shirt from a facebook picture that looks poor quality, even if the customer doesn't care, I don't want my business attached to any garment that appears to be poor quality... even if the fault is the customers crappy image.
