T-SHIRT DESIGN RULES

1.  SQUARES AND RETANGLES ARE NOT ALLOWED!
   The human body is not hard edged (yeah I know you’re ripped but the other folks wearing your shirts aren’t…)  Oh yeah – you have a responsibility to not ruin the appreciation of a great body by covering it with something stupid.
2. DON’T BE BORING.
   Must I repeat myself? Don’t be boring.
3. APPAREL IS A MOVING TARGET – BE LEGIBLE.
   Okay- here it is. Graphic apparel is moving target. Make it easy to get your message out. The sound of  “one hand clapping” is not the goal.
4. KEEP IT SIMPLE STUPID.
   Yes it’s the KISS syndrome – keep it simple and strong  – Go for the GOLD!
   That way no one can miss what you are trying to say .
5. CONTRAST 
   Dark gray on black is not going to work. Subtlety is cool and can be an effective design concept  but make sure your logo stands out;. It doesn’t have to be loud – just clear.
6. CHOOSE THE RIGHT PRODUCT
   There are so many types of fabrics and styles and items today that you need someone that can give you the information and advice to help you select the correct items.
7. FONTS
   The right font can make or break a design. As a screen printer I also take into consideration of spacing each character correctly so your text is clear and not “muddy”
