heres the shirt design i made this morning.. havent complete yet..

The back..


The front..


anything to modify pls feel free to say it..

needed some comment to improve this design..

Thanks for viewing..

dont u think there is a huge difference between the back and the front?

yea.. i know.. juz dunno wut to put la..

well stratos,

there are some certain rules to follow when designing a t-shirt.

One that you have seriously crossed is using gradient. Your T-shirt might appear nice in that colour but if you were to print it the cost would be extremely high (that and that you have so many colours on 1 shirt).

Its not realistic, hence you dont see many gradient graphic shirts.

T-shirt graphics are usually flat and if are not, they should be too complicated.

Overall you really need to step back and have a look at your design, from the following i can see:

a) it has 2 many colours
b) much to complicated with 2 much designs.
c) it looks more like a graphic print design than a t-shirt design
d) I dont see it as a shirt that people would wear.

Try to keep your t-shirt design simple 1st and to usually not more than 3 colours.

What looks nice as a print might not look nice on a tee.

wow..~~ Thanks for ur words.. will modify it..

so far the front i modify it to sumthing like this..

Well..the shirt look good but if u wanna print this design on shirt, It will cost u a lot coz the shirt need to be print using printer, not block.
What I can see here is that the colour that u use is more than 10.

Usually, t-shirt design will consist not more than 4 colour unless u wanna shirt like "Radioactive" type of shirt.

I also see that ur design have gradient.My advise is, try to eliminate those element.I might look nice, but I doubt it on shirt.

so compare the 1st design and 2nd for the front side design which is nicer or more recommended ler..?

For me, I recommend the second design...

ok.. will do some colour editing later on.. er.. got comments on the back of the shirt...?

Try visiting Threadless.

u mean the website or wut..?

Actually i dont think he should go to threadless, no offence meant to anyone, but alot of people who go to these sites to get 'inspired' end up referencing too much if u know what i mean. Let your designs and ideas be your own.

So far your designs are ok startros. Just cut down on your designs, as said earlier, far 2 complicated. You need to learn about design space and also look in magazines. Fuse your style with what is sellable, I'm not saying follow trends now, create your own trend but dont copy.

Cheers and enjoy!

nice use of colors.. but i dun like where the design cuts off..

hmmm... second design is still having too many colours I guess... and there's some gradients too... hehe... it would be nice if it's a print design...

threadless got too many design oledi.. i slwoly see but nth i like there.. Thanks.

ok.. i will still modify some parts.. Thanks

ok.. Thanks for the comment..

well.. i redesign the whole back part.. pls give me ur comments..

my comments on the latest back design is ... its good ... if u redesign the words LYN CLUB and SMK CHUNG HUA MIRI to something less NOISE and lose the background for that words ... the rest is GOOD enuff for me thou ... but not tat ill buy it hehe

i think maybe make those manga character the main thing in t-shirt will be more interesting.

but that just my taste.

o.. ok.. Thanks for ur comments.. then will try editing the manga characters..

High cost printing .. =p

hmmm.... I have to ask a question here...

SMK Chung Hua Miri
LYN Club - Forum.Lowyat.net
Manga Characters

which one is the focus?


ps~
seriously, I can't see the relation between them...
plus, focus is quite important in all kinds of designs...
unless this is a piece of ART but not a design...

Actually I mean something simple like this, although look like Tshirt in pasar malam.

But it atleast it will be cheap for printing I guess, haha.

well.. the manga is like we going to post our name below it.. like naming the manga after us..

well.. i come out the front with sumthing like this.. Juz keeping it simple..



or

The 2nd one looks better..... at the back of the shirt can print the LYN logo also....

how bout put the logo n letters in the middle for the front? smaller..
n at the back make it BIG...

Hmm... why not just fonts in the front... and a big printing of the characters at the back with similar fonts underlining it? Maybe u can play around with the positioning of the fonts in front...

Just an opinion though, try to keep it your own style, else what's the point designing it yourself? Set an idea or concept of how you'd like the design to look like, and implement it according to practicality...

I think the font is not suitable..try to change it to other font that look formal.

more formal 1 font ar.. i will try see..
