Improving your t-shirt design skills is one of the most rewarding investments that you can make in your design career.

In this workshop we will go over the entire process of creating a
t-shirt design, from finding ideas all the way to sending your designs
out to be printed.

We will send out the design to 3 different printers. At the end, those shirts will be unboxed so you can see exactly how they came back from the printer (there will be a few unexpected surprises you can learn from!)

In this course we’ll cover:

How to find and apply inspiration

The various computer tools and traditional tools you will need to create t-shirt designs.

How
to move seamlessly between Photoshop, Illustrator, and pencil &
paper so your designs come out as good or better than you had initially
imagined

Type layout using Adobe Typekit fonts

How to create your own custom Photoshop brushes to quickly add color and texture to your designs

How to incorporate hand-drawn effects into a computer-based design

How to make sure?your graphic is screen printed with the exact ink colors, sizing, and placement that you want

Printing with sublimation and DTG (direct-to-garment) methods

Avoiding common mistakes so your t-shirts come back printed exactly as designed

As a bonus you will also receive:

The Photoshop watercolor brushes made in the workshop

All 3 colorways of the finished “South Shore” design created (Photoshop format)

?2 bonus lectures showing methods to create “index” and “halftone” screen printing color separations in Photoshop and Illustrator without the need for any extra?software
