This design which we printed for NAIDOC is another example of a great logo incorporated into a t-shirt.  First, the hands in the design had the three colours of the Aboriginal flag incorporated into it, then that looked so effective, they thought the text would also look great with bands of colour. A wonderful feature of Photoshop and Illustrator is that anything can become part of your text.  In this case, three blocks of colour were made, and the text typed over the top. Then with the click of a button, the text “cookie-cuttered” the colour blocks on the inside, and excluded everything on the outside. Here’s the finished logo:

Here’s the effect on a t-shirt print:

And lastly, this is an example of placement of a picture inside text…a high resolution photograph of a fuschia placed inside a large leter “F”. The possibilities are endless!

Many customers order t-shirts for special purposes, such as office parties, bucks nights, hens parties, seminars etc. for a group of friends or employees. Some of the designs and ideas for these shirts are very innovative, and provide a way to keep a group together at a club or venue. One of our customers sent us some small samples of artwork, with instructions for the finished designs. One of these designs was a picture of a robot with one arm slightly raised. The customer wished us to find a high quality picture of a jacket, and with the aid of Photoshop, place the jacket in the hand of the robot, with a message underneath.  Another of the designs was to be a clock, with all the numbers to be “9″, instead of a normal cloock face.  Here are the artwork and t-shirt samples which resulted in some innovative designs for the group’s special night out:

And so, your designs are only limited by your imagination!  These designs all had to be re-designed by our art department, to produce clean, crisp artwork for our customer’s t-shirts. Why not let us design a shirt for you?  Just provide some artwork and your ideas, and we’ll do the rest, providing you with updates and proofs for your confirmation before printing.
