best document settings for making t-shirt designs (Quick Design Tips)

[@sfgjointzz4018]

i recommend turning the background color to transparent. its a lot easier than trying to color match the exact color of your garment especially if its a difficult or rare color.

[@KashifReads]

excatly what I was thinking

[@YoQueue]

This was precise. I just scrapped my entire store, even my page design. I had zero idea about graphic design and realized all of my designs were low res so I’m taking the liberty to teach myself before putting out product.

[@yasuo4506]

Thank you for making it short and simple. Very useful tip. Appreciate it a lot

[@hairnetart]

The CPU suggestion was a gold nugget, thank you. Nice trick

[@jakepitner6357]

This is true. Sometimes my files are huge and take forever to load. Quality tip for sure

[@miqueias4927]

keeping it short and simple! love it

[@Thizzy420]

whatta ya know, today is Monday. thanks for the info .

[@cassandrarodriguez9333]

I have been looking everywhere for this Information finally I found it with you thank you for the tips!!!

[@catllionare]

I'm digging these design tips A LOT! Thank you Charley!

[@amiski024]

So... when we are handing off the designs, do we tell the client they need to send the outlined EPS or AI file to the printer? Also what about working in pantone colours, and do we need to separate things into layers with specific names? Do we also need to provide the specific Pantone codes or will they be fine with just the file that's sent? You mentioned that something was 11inches. Was 11inches the width of the shirt or the width that you wanted the design?

[@thegenjutsuuser]

video quality always top notch!

[@CharleyPangus]

PhotoAlly thanks for noticing man! I really try my best.

[@chavl597]

Hey, i have a question. I make my designs in GIMP because Adobe is not available in my country. Should i also set the image size and resolution the same as you set it in Adobe for the same results, or do different setting apply for GIMP?

[@jordantopp]

So do you use CMYK in illustrator?? Thanks for all the great videos!

[@clementsunny1170]

Will it work for printing

[@annaturner8387]

Thanks for the tips! Just curious why you don't use a transparent background?

[@1987sensation]

Hi Charlie. In a previous video you selected CMYK for photoshop set up. Is it better to use RGB for Photoshop and CMYK for illustrator? Thanks :)

[@yellej3314]

CMYK is for printing RGB for web

[@agataa6067]

@@yellej3314 yes but if i wanna upload my designs on ig for ecample and also do prints what should i do :v

[@gabymaldonado8855]

SO helpful and straight to the point! Thank you!

[@jay-b1223]

This is exactly what I was looking for thank you 😊

[@hermes.trismegistus616]

Spot on mate, good content-value, short and to the point! Keep it up!

[@dknotts30]

Nice..loving the new stuff!

[@CharleyPangus]

dknotts30 really happy to hear that :)

[@davidc5885]

so for illustrator don't use rgb?

[@KashifReads]

would't RGB colors look different from CMYK? I always read that for printing you are supposed to use CMYK? Also is it okay to sue transparent instead of solid color background?

[@parkersdesignspace8140]

Thank you very much for this, I want to start POD Soon, but I have this question which color mode do you use for your design. If it is CMYK then it will change color if you are uploading it IG or web since they use sRGB color mode

[@ChargingGuy]

Great video bro. I'm trying to learn the in's and out's with illustrator and this was very helpful

[@alan_oz]

Love the quick tips. Cheers.

[@CharleyPangus]

Alan thank you

[@KILalldaysj]

Thank you

[@chenaeM7]

would you need to remove the coloured background before you print your design?

[@jaygough3813]

This was superrrr helpful and concise. Thank you for this!!

[@JackSmith-ud9bg]

Great viedo

[@OLskewL]

Bro when you say width, where do you start from on the shirt? Sleeve to sleeve?

[@IshmeneMakemillz]

how do you suggest getting shirts printed or printing them yrself

[@DetourShirts]

Just started following your channel. I like the quick design tips. Thank you for sharing. Are there other T-shirt designers that you follow on KZbin?

[@CharleyPangus]

Detour Shirts thank you. I don’t know of any other t-shirt designers unfortunately.

[@7hmichael]

Affinity tips too! Thank you!

[@aaronguzman77]

I think you can apply these same concepts to Affinity. Document size in inches and 300 dpi.

[@reapernation99]

Looking forward to that tutorial Tuesday!!

[@badllama8090]

Cool short video, just starting out on Ps and t shirt design.

[@blablaamna134]

Hi i just wanna ask something is png have both white and transparent backgroud??

[@scarcorleon]

I have a question I have a bear design and not sure what size to make it for a shirt. It’s a bear sitting down. Any suggestions?

[@sgtcocovausmc]

This one is a keeper!!! THANX!!!

[@natanunorthodox]

Is 8.5 x 11 inches a really good size for bigger and smaller prints? This is the size that I draw my artwork on, and it seems to be a great size, but I haven't uploading to any print on demand yet, so I was just wondering...SBN RESONATE

[@ameliarodriguez6634]

Do you recommend turning off text anti aliasing when designing text based tshirts with photoshop? What happens to the semitransparent pixels created in the process during printing?

[@CharleyPangus]

I’m not even sure about this honestly

[@CharleyPangus]

I will have to look into it

[@LouizAntonio]

ISN'T CMYK REQUIRED FOR PRINT ?

[@augszillary]

Amazing 😉

[@Gautamabharwal]

Yes. But lot of the final prints have both illustration as well as text. So how to manage dpi and resolution of these two different layers . And how to manage dpi & resolution of final when we export

[@stayjustful]

Loving the tips

[@100fam_izzogreen]

[@deontethemusicartist684]

what files do i need for my Clothing brand logo?

[@KaziAAPiash]

thanks a lot buddy......

[@alistoica6273]

Why do you use RGB, instead of CMYK for printing? Will not mess up the colors?

[@PatchCornAdams723]

Ali Stoica I design shirts for my friend's business, using a DTG (direct to garment) printer, and I do this for exporting PNG files, for when I am doing a one-color design. I create the design for print in CMYK in illustrator, and then export it as RGB from photoshop, to preserve the transparency.

[@SunshinePrecuious]

This is my 3rd time watching this video.

[@israrmalik4336]

after making 4 into 4 inches is docomet nmaking desgin , what sizer do we gve to client

[@Jess-cw6rr]

When I tried to do inches instead of pixels, it makes up so much space in my computer that it says scratch disks are full.....is it vital for it to be in inches?

[@chikko_bbx]

in your thumbnail, what is the name of that font?

[@46foryounger]

I dig it

[@ThePurpleNinja]

The fact that i watched this video on a Monday 4 years later

[@CharleyPangus]

[@TMTVGh]

Hi, how to convert a design for screen shooting

[@aaronguzman77]

like multi-color screen printing? you might need to ask your printer how they want the document set up.

[@edsec2791]

Hey I've tried these settings, but when I open after making new documents settings it/canvas becomes very tiny in size and when I zoom in it shows small boxes and when I drag image in it, image gets blurry and it like new documents inside it . can you please helo me

[@tusarss4895]

Hope you will make a video about how to earn from t shirt designing.

[@damnitmika6696]

I don't know if you're still looking for this but Wholesale Ted's KZbin channel have videos on how to make money with POD. Just substitute purchasing designs with your own work :)

[@masterm6849]

Cool

[@ImCedReacts]

Im good at making designs. I just need the shirt files, Hoodies and all..

[@mostafasaeid9625]

Since you're my teacher how could you advise me to be successful on merch by amazon what's the secret behind merch by Amazon 7 month on merch by Amazon and only sold 115 t shirts whilst others people sold thousands of tshirts so you recommend me any courses??

[@Morcego538]

"wen not printing" means what? DTF and DTG machines?

[@experimento6262]

So 72 when not printing and 300 when printing got it

[@yellej3314]

You shouldn't use a background color, make the background transparent png

[@tonito_el_tigre]

I like the new intro &tips are🔥 I usually do everything in 300 res. Oops.

[@georgealexender]
