2. ● Sizing: Each one of you would have seen two t-shirts with the same design but still, look different! And above that, you try to analyse, which one is better? Exactly, sometimes it does happen that people while they try to copy other designs, forget to consider this important factor of design/logo size. The size should be decided based on the design nature, the material of your t-shirt and the shape of the design. Remember, circular or square, both have different sizing of the design. Also, sizing varies depending on the size range of your garment. Don’t think that one size fits all, depending on the size of the garment, that is, for ladies or youth, you may have to vary the size of the design/logo. Takeaway: Size matters a lot, it can either make or break the ​T Shirt Printing Singapore​. ● Placement: Sometimes, certain designs, if placed too low on the chest or too up, make a blunder. We know that you want to design a T-shirt that turns head for all the right reasons! It is advisable to pick up a standard placement of the design while designing a creative t-shirt. If you are thinking about a varied placement of the design, call an expert, and get the suggestions. You can have options for print locations and depending on the design, pick up the suitable one.

3. Typography and Fonts: Limitations are there when it comes to printing certain text. The most basic form of expression is the component that is going to be noticed first when someone looks at the person. Ensure that the type is arranged in a way that is visible to the viewer or the buyer; also the line spacing and the fonts should be clear enough that the typography looks attractive and aesthetic. All-Caps design doesn’t look good always. Your whole intention behind evoking the emotion and conveying the message may be taken wrongly for the wrong placement of fonts and typography. Try out a sample design where you can do variations with fonts and then finalise. Image Quality: As a designer, you should know a low-quality resolution can ruin your design printing. So while submitting the art files, ensure that they have good quality; otherwise, you can not directly have a magnificent picture imprinted with a low-resolution file. Images, if copied from the internet, are too small, almost 72 dpi which hinders the picture quality on the t-shirt. For a standard print, the image size should be 200 dpi or higher than that. A low-quality image gets compressed and loses its visible artifacts. You should ask the t-shirt printing Singapore, regarding the format they want the files to be submitted. A vector file, namely PDF, EPF, AI, or SVG works well with t-shirt printing. If you are submitting a photograph, do not take a photograph or a photograph, instead, scan it and then send it.

4. Colours: We can say colours are the foreign element on t-shirts but the most important one too. If you are going for bulk printing, it will definitely reduce the cost but, may cost you later if anything goes wrong with the colour choice. In screen printing, more colours will cost you a high price. So fix your budget, if you are planning to go for screen printing of your t-shirt designs. The halftones technique is also much in the trend where tiny dots give a visual impression of many colours. Colours have a particular effect on people emotions and behaviour. So depending on the emotion, you want to impart, and the message you want to convey to the audience, the selection of colour is important. Adding multiple colours may look tempting, but vividness in colours may backfire your design.

5. Complexity: How do you feel about seeing a complex design online? You get the mixed feeling, right? You try to analyse the design ideology, and different people would have different perceptions regarding the same. You should always remember, clean and simple designs wins the heart of many. We know you do not want to make a complex design and make it difficult for the people to figure the intentions behind printing. Low-Quality Material: When you are spending so much on t-shirt designing, be it in terms of colours, patterns and more, why ruin the efforts by selecting a low-quality material? It is advisable to use high-quality material so that the ink sticks well, the print doesn’t get compress on the material and everything falls in place.

Contrast: This is one of the important elements in t-shirt designing. It focuses on the visual difference that the t-shirt colour will impart between the images and the background colour. Contrast is a choice of colour, that will not disappoint people when the design is washed away. The selected design can have a lot of impact on the overall contrast of the colour of the t-shirts. Many people prefer to have low contrast, while others might feel, bright contrast looks best. Some of the recommended contrasts are Navy on black, Light grey on sport grey shirt, etc.

6. Few important things to note here are: ● Know your target audience really well before printing a design; ● Don’t start without any preparations; ● Don’t start using equipment without any sort of training; ● Give enough attention to the inversion of the design. ● Have proper borders, masks, and edges while designing. We hope these suggestions would help you to create a knock-out design while printing a t-shirt. Designing is all about exploring your creativity while being cautious at the same time.
