The advantage of a stand-alone, hand-drawn design is that it’s unique. If you’re experienced enough with the pencil, you’ll get the job done right-on. O the other hand, it is time consuming and exhaustive to do.

Using vector elements, you’ll get your design ready fast and quick. Also with professionally drawn vectors you can obtain more than one design using the same elements.

All in all, these are only a matter of choice, taste and resources, so pick the one that fits you the best.

Now that you have your design ready, you want to get it on your shirt. A good idea is to consult the printing company and ask them about the printing options for your design.

Here are a few examples of stunning T-shirt designs placed on chest and torso.

    Always vector. Spot color so it can be screen printed as well as digital direct.

    Some fades and airbrushing are done in Photoshop but placed into my Vector program. Adobe Illustrator.

    Selecting a t-shirt from different brands which is suits your company logo would be a difficult job, so custom t-shirt is the best solution for those who want to have a seperate t-shirts with their company logo.
