A couple of designs

[Pet]

I will give you some pointers for t-shirt graphics.


Unless you know someone who is great at silk screening, or willing to pay, they will not silk screen within usually 1 inch of any seems. So, for the bottom design, it would just end abruptly, and not look as good, same with the sides, looking at it head on, you would expect to see it wrap around, but it doesn't.

Limit your colors. Most places online have the cost broken up into the t-shirt, the screen for printing, and the colors. Now, you will have to pay for another screen for each color. So, lets say it was $15 for a t-shirt, $10 per screen, and $0.2 per color. If you have 4 colors, that ends up at roughly $55.8 per shirt, with a minimum of usualy 8 - 12.

One last note. When you send it, if it is a raster image, most places will want it to be several thousand pixels both tall and wide. Vector images, they like the vector file so that they can just open that, print the right size and no distortion at all.

Hope the was helpful.

i like the 3rd one. if the bottom right corner wraps around the shirt to the back then it would look good. the 2nd one.....the pen tool coming from the logo kills it. the 1st one is pretty good ^_^ GG CHRIS

for the dimensions, you could still make it like 1000x800 but make the dpi really high right?
