T-Shirt

My research about t-shirts, the research is going to help me create my own design. This research tells me and others the specifications that "Vistaprint" Requires.


This is some of the research that I stumbled upon:

The T-shirts that are being designed must follow a certain specification. Each design must be set a certain resolution, the resolution being “175 dpi”. The document needs to be in CMYK so the printers can print in the exact colour you make it.

It must be sent as one of these formats; the top three are there most preferred.

• Adobe Acrobat 9 Document  (*.pdf) (recommended) 
• Adobe Illustrator CS3 Artwork  (*.ai) (recommended) 
• Adobe Photoshop CS3 Image  (*.psd) (recommended) 
• Bitmap Image  (*.bmp) 
• GIF Image  (*.gif) 
• JPEG Image  (*.jpg,*.jpeg) 
• Microsoft PowerPoint 2010 Document  (*.ppt) 
• Microsoft Publisher 2010 Document  (*.pub) 
• Microsoft Word 2010 Document  (*.doc) 
• PCX Image  (*.pcx) 
• PICT Image  (*.pic,*.pict,*.pct) 
• PNG Image  (*.png) 
• PostScript Document  (*.ps) 
• TIF Image  (*.tif,*.tiff) 
• Windows Enhanced Metafile  (*.emf) 
• Windows Metafile  (*.wmf)

Then I put some of my ideas into a mind map to display my ideas. I will put them into action when making my first drafts.

Like I mentioned you can see a rough idea of what I want to accomplish in my outcome and you can see what is expected to be in the final version.

These are my three draft t-shirts, they have all came from my mind map and they are using CMYK:

I have chosen the second one because it looks more appealing and appropriate for all ages.
