How do you copyright a graphic design for your tshirts...with words on top of it? You cant copyright words? is that right? The "type of work" is Work of the visual arts? The "title" would be the words on the shirt? And At the end of the registration...I need to email a copy of my design? I have 7 designs so do I need to do each one individually? Someone Help!
when copyrighting t-shirt designs, what is the "type of work", and do I need to copyright each design separately?

Yes, that's correct. However you can copyright a design.
The title can be whatever you want to name it.
Is that what it asks for on the US Copyright site?
Yes, they should be done individually, although some people have copyrighted their design as a "collection" - more info here: copyrighting a collection related topics at T-Shirt Forums

My attorney gave me a tip the other day and advised that it's actually pretty easy to register copyrights for a given design. She also mentioned that multiple images could be registered at one time. Unless i misunderstood what she meant by that, that would mean one need not pay a separate filing fee for each individual image or design they are registering.
