Even t-shirt printers need a break every once in a while. Our offices will be closed tomorrow on Good Friday so everyone can get a much needed break. Everything is still on schedule because we managed to bump all the t-shirt printing up one day. You can definitely still place orders though because we will be ready to rock on Monday!
We just added a new subcategory to our School section of the artwork called Templates. We will be adding this same subcategory to the Sports section as well. The Templates section is just one of the parts we are upgrading in the Design Studio but a very exciting one because of the opportunities it will allow. We have taken a lot of our custom t-shirt designs and broken them down into pieces to allow you to build them back the way you want. Here is a design that we created with the new Templates section:
Our next post will dig a little deeper into how we created this t-shirt design.
Our t-shirt design gallery is coming soon and we couldn’t be more excited. We are also steadily upgrading the clip art options in the Design Studio to give you more choices to create the t-shirt designs you’ve been looking for. We will keep you updated on when it is ready. Thanks for tuning in!
We recently did a custom t-shirt design for my little nephew Lucas who was turning 6 months old. He needed something cool to show that he is Cool Hand Luc. Here is what we came up with:
That little guy is a rock star and now he has the printed t-shirt to prove it!
We said that we would show you the design and the results for the custom printed t-shirts we sent to Canada. We are going to better than that and show you the whole process so you can get a good feel for how we work at You Design It. There were a few parameters to this print job that made it a little more difficult than usual. They were:
Sounds like fun, right? Well…it is for us because that it what we are here for! The company that contacted us was Area Magazine out of Toronto, Canada and they knew all the right things to say to get us printing. They mentioned contacting one of our main competitors and said that they weren’t willing to take on the t-shirt printing job. This, obviously, was one of the main reasons we were so eager to get after this one. The other reason was how good these printed t-shirts were going to look as a finished product.
Here is how the order went. We were contacted and asked what we could do to accomplish the print. We needed to see the artwork to make sure we were all on the same page. Here is what we received:
We then created a proof of what it would look like on the shirts once it was printed. We received approval by our customer and it looked like this:
Both sides agreed that this could be done and was going to be a hit. So, without further delay, here is the picture of the final shirts with some notes included on the shirt:
Oh yeah, one more thing….the shirts were a mixture of sizes and styles. We’ll let you be the judge (although we were thrilled with the end result) of how they came out.
We just wanted to make the announcement that we shipped our first order to Canada and it worked out great. Talk about trial by fire though….the order was for oversized printed t-shirts with printing across the seams, a rush job of less than a week, and on dark t-shirts! We were excited to get the opportunity and we will post the design and pictures later. We just couldn’t keep the excitement in any longer.
