Some of our customers like to wear scary stuff on their tee-shirts, and we get some pretty amazing artwork sent in to print. But the message gets kind of lost when the artwork’s all blurry and pixelated, and our Art department often gets called in to re-draw an illustration, and put the SCARY part back in !
This is a sample of the artwork received from one customer recently:
Scary Mummy
It goes without saying that this kind of artwork presents a real challenge in preparing a new drawing for displaying on one of our great tee-shirts, and usually necessitates a couple of Panadol afterwards too! Here is the result of our re-draw, and then a sample of what it looked like on a shirt:
Scary Pic redrawn
Scary Tee
Once you’ve had artwork re-created, it remains on our files for future use…in case you want us to dig it out at Halloween, to scare everybody all over again Maybe you’re an aspiring artist, and want to advertise your skills on a shirt, along with your contact details, and maybe a website URL….our top quality polos and tees are perfect. You’ll also notice that the print sizing maximum for our style of printing is 28cm wide by 36cm high
T-shirt printing is an amazing way to make a statement, or display your photos, logo, website or your own artwork.
We’re often also able to re-draw your design, if your artwork is not quite high enough in resolution for printing.
Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator are the programs we use to create and edit artwork. Some of the following things can be done to make your artwork stand out on your T-shirt:
Backgrounds can be changed or edited, with unwanted content taken out. As long as your original artwork is of high enough resolution, the white background which often appears with your artwork on your web sample can be extracted. If your picture quality is lower, we can print at a lower resolution onto a white shirt, leaving the white background to blend in with the shirt. The same principle applies to black backgrounds against a black shirt.
Unwanted objects in your picture can be taken out with different methods, usually using the ‘clone’ tool, as shown in these two pictures:
In this picture, there’s a photographer’s arm which is spoiling the picture.
…And with a few strokes of the clone tool, just the pelicans and the sky.
