We are big fans of Design By Humans, the t-shirt design competition site. We have bought many a shirt from them because of the trendy designs, highly technical prints and ease of use on their website. Are you surprised to hear that coming from us? We love t-shirts just as much as you do and can recognize high quality whenever we see it.

Well, we have been sitting on the sideline too long and want to throw our hat in the ring. It will be a fun exercise for us and hopefully we’ll get a few votes. The hardest part for us was choosing the color of shirt to go with our “3D glasses effect” design. Here is our artwork and the two colors of shirts that we were choosing from:

We ended up going with the green t-shirt design to keep the colors bright. The name of the design is “Shooting Stars” and it can be found here. Since it is an election year, we don’t mind asking for your vote !

*Win or lose, we will be posting a t-shirt design tutorial in the next couple of days showing you how you can achieve the 3D look with your artwork. We will also be critiquing our own work and learning the in’s and out’s of t-shirt competition submissions. Stay tuned…..

Custom Shirt Screen Printing
Screen Print T Shirts

Frequently what we find our customers confused about is the minimum or maximum allowable quantity for an order.  People are very surprised to discover that they can come to the same company for one shirt or for 1,000+ shirts.  However, here at You Design It we’re equipped to handle your needs regardless of how many or how few shirts you need.

Our smaller orders of less than six shirts are created by digital t-shirt printing.  With digital printing you can design your own t shirt just as you would with screen printing in our design studio.  With digital printing you have the flexibility of having as many colors on the shirt as you want without having to pay more per color.  However, digital printing works best on light shirts with dark ink.  It’s very difficult for us to do digital printing of white/very light ink on a black/very dark shirt.

Screen printed t shirts are the best option for larger orders of six or more shirts.  With screen printing there are no color restrictions in terms of what we can print; however, each color necessitates another ‘screen’ thereby making the shirts more expensive for us to create and thus a little more expensive for you to buy.

Regardless of what your quantity size may be, You Design It is pleased and honored to be your one stop shop for all your “personalized t shirt” needs.

One of the hottest trends out there at the moment is creating t-shirts with robot designs. Robots have remained a focal point of interest for our fantasies, and sci-fi dreams since they first appeared. With technology developing as quickly as it is they seem closer than ever and that undoubtedly accounts for much of the spike in fascination. Robots also lend themselves to human experiences and are among the most anthropomorphized entities out there. That’s why here at You Design It, we’re proud to bring you a list of our top five favorite robot t-shirt designs. Enjoy!

Dance of the Robots

This is a witty and very amusing twist on the Matisse’s classic painting “La Danse.” Great robot themed parody!

Oil is Evil

This is an excellent shirt for all the spirited, environmentalists out there. Looks like this robot is having a rough day.

Do the Robot

Don’t go to any dance without these moves in your arsenal. Or, just wear this shirt and you won’t have to dance at all. You’ll get too much respect for this one.

Robot Attack

All-over prints are another hot trend. It should come as no surprise, therefore, that an all over print featuring robots gets two big thumbs up.

You Complete Me

Another fine example of using robot designs to poke fun at pop culture.

You know from our history that we like to share the dynamic t-shirt blogs that we subscribe to and today is a good day for that. We still get excited each time that we open up our Google Feed Reader and the T-Shirt blogs category has some blog posts. We are t-shirt geeks like that and proud of it! Here are a few more t-shirt blogs that we frequently visit:

1. Addic[tee]d - The Fresh Tee Guide
2. Color Overload – They have great t-shirt related lists
3. Militant Geek – Funny T-Shirts with regular posts
4. Rude Retro – A great t-shirt review blog.

One of the hottest advertizing trends right now is to trumpet your company’s “greenness”. It’s understandable that with so much focus on the environment and global warming that this is going to be a hot button claim. Here in the t-shirt world, organic is of course the catchphrase attached to a company’s greenness. What we’ve found though, is that very often despite their very good intentions, people are frequently unwilling to trade style for eco-friendly products. But why should they have to? There’s no reason an organic t-shirt can’t be just as stylish and well-designed as a standard one. With that in mind we’ve scoured design pages and come up with a list of our top five favorite organic t-shirt designs. Enjoy!

Earth – A Work in Progress

Organic tees right now are pretty synonymous with environmental themes. This one shows that the Earth is still a “work in progress”.

Inhabitat’s Green Roots/Lungs

This is a top-notch design and a great location for the print.

Birds On A Wire

A simple, elegant design that’s very much in line with the popular, basic bird trend we’ve been seeing. Great job.

Laugh Often

It takes a special confidence by the designer and retailer to produce and carry shirts with just simple text. In this case, it was done the right way with a great color combination and an inspiring message.

Factory Green – Don’t Suck

Is there a better t-shirt design with the gas prices these days? Organic tees can be funny too.
