T-shirt Design for DTG Printing
Brief Overview: Create a visually engaging and unique t-shirt graphic that explores the creative possibilities of DTG printing. Attempt to push the boundaries of this printing technique by incorporating vibrant colors, intricate details, gradients, photorealistic elements, and 3D text in your design. Include a die-cut shape and transparency to ensure your design is printed on the garment without producing a square/rectangular shape. Pay attention to factors such as image resolution, color profiles, and file formats to ensure that your design can be accurately reproduced on a t-shirt using this printing method.
Design Objectives: Create a t-shirt design to learn more about the DTG printing process. Utilize the 3D effect tools, composited photos, and vector graphics to build a detailed and visually appealing t-shirt design. Use creative effects and filters to help connect with your audience.
Tools and Technologies Used: Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop
For this project, I took on the challenge of bringing my artistic vision to life by revising an old illustration using Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop.
