Design concept
When we start designing our custom T-shirt, we should keep an eye on the following facts.
Type of your T-shirt:
Before deciding the right type of t-shirt, you need to think about your audience and intended goals. A revealing crop top or a skinny might not be the best promotion for a law firm. Likewise the type of T-shirt depends on the intended goals.
Color, Style and imagery:
Color contrast means how certain ink colors in the design will appear against a lighter colored shirt or a darker colored shirt. There are two sets of colors called 'the fabric color and the print color'. You need to match the colors with your fabric and choose what best for your fabric and to the design.
Then you can print your T-shirt using a printer which is suitable for your fabric.
