The Ultimate Guide to Creating Your Own Custom T-Shirt

how to make a logo

Logo is the most important thing in the process of creating your own brand/company. In a way, people are using it because even that small thing needs to describe the company's idea of where it is going, which energy is giving what look, and first impressions of sweet or exotic art are a big and really advanced part of human beings, and logos are one of those too.

People who are making logos professionally are doing research on which country that is going to, what needs to be presented, what is an idea, and what is that one thing that you want to give to people, all questions that are essential to the powerful logo. 

 

The fastest & easiest one is making it from your own name, but in the 21st century that will be boring for most all people. Whatever beauty your name is, that will not be the best way to show off your own company. 

 

A better way is changing letters, adding them, changing places, making them shorter, and making a vibe. 

 

How can you do that? 

1. Write your own name on the paper.

2. Look at it like you want to see your own product in that, your own feature, that thing that you want to give to people.

3. Change it to do what you feel you need to do. Move it, move that. Delete that; add a new piece. 

4. Make it short and easy to read, or add an explanation of how to read it. 

5. Add colors that present your vibe.

Work on it in repetition; create it a few times if you aren’t proud of the first logo.

Next, if you are so obsessed and have a talent. 

1. Add elements like stars, a kiss, a bird, or maybe a car. Be creative.

2. Delete part of the design, connect it with the name, and build that connection like your phone and Wi-Fi. That's so easy, basic, and good. 

But remember, don’t add too much; just try to feel that and do that which you want to give or show to people.

custom t shirt design

To design your own t-shirt, you don’t need to have Adobe Photoshop, 100 mockups from a freelancer, and an iPad for so much money; it is easier than that.

You need only a brain.

Start thinking about what you like in clothes and mix it together.

After that, think about what you want to show other folks, not only family.

Think like you want to create it for people from the whole world, who can support you on the socials when you are making good content about it, and this whole creation process will be a big step to build community and your first brand t-shirt.

1. Take a paper.

2. Think about what you like in all possible clothes, what you feel like is killing the vibe, what is helpful, and what totally isn’t.

3. A T-shirt basically is a material in a good-sized portion and whole, haha.

4. If you have it in your head, start drawing it.

5. Draw a t-shirt carefully.

6. After that, delete what you feel like is bad.

7. Add new things.

8. Delete what you don’t feel. Now you need numbers and technical stuff.

1. Size: How big do clothes, in your opinion, need to be?

2. Take your favorite, most commutable t-shirts, hoodies, or whatever, and check their cm/ft.

3. Width …

4. Length of specific elements: if you are really advanced, you can master specific parts where you feel like you want to give more space or less.

You have it?

Now. 

Just put your logo, or a picture, or maybe your own design.

You can do that in whatever place you feel like doing it; just don't do it mostly on sides where there are seams that are not too well to have prints, but other places mostly are fine.

Just think how you see it, where that can be, and where that needs to be. (Just think which places can be not too well for that, maybe not too much visible, maybe not to practice this information; it refers to all points because that is a creative thing. Sometimes all people need to spend more of the time to think, just think and feel at the same time.) 

Add it, and basically you have a t-shirt. On my own.

 Congratulations!!!

diy t shirt printing

Oh boy…

There so many methods. 

You just need a paint.

Some artists make it by using spray paint, and some by just painting clothes. 

There isn’t one perfect option that is express, cheap, easy, etc. You need to make what you feel.

The first designs by S9seventeenNine were made with clothes paint, drawn on paper (which was a bad idea), and cut prints.

A better idea is to take something plastic and straight. 

So you can take something like that, cut in your own logo, and after that, with the spray or paint, make the logo its own print.

 And you have it.

 But the print needs specific treatment.

For example, with that paint, a good process is deleting that plastic element after around 30 minutes and slowly.

Next, take a breakfast paper (you know, that white paper that is really thin).

And iron that place with the designated power; do it for a short time, maybe only for a few seconds or 1 min, 2 min, or 5 min.

But many times we need to change that proces.

And have a black room to work in (some paint, even most of them, needs special time to wait in specific conditions).

After that, give Logo 7h to harden the paint.

That is small change after putting on paint and 30 minutes of first waiting. 

(Which sometimes can be useful for printing too.)

Just read a little about the product you use and how to do that.

Not all products are the same, so be careful.
