how important is the shirt colour that you choose?

Ok,so we have all gone through all the designs and have been really impressed with the talent out there.

something that got my eye was the dsirt colours that some of the designers used.for me the colour of the shirt is vital.It can make the design a super hit or let it drag in behind the winners.
the colours black and white will always be firm favourites but you need to think carefully about the colouring you use in design and how you incorporate it in the shirt.the two have to go together.
saying this,the majority have got it right…I am sure there are peeps out there who will only get better as time goes on.
lets hear what you guys have to say…

Sometimes simplicity is best :)

I just saw one with a grey background (the spaghetti fork one). I LOVED it. For some reason the greys and whites just work so well, no colour is needed at all.

Or maybe the design should just be based on the design…and everyone should have a fair go with just white templates?

Kind of like paint swatches when you design the lay-out of a room.

Yip, I must agree. One must keep in the colour of the tshirt before designing a masterpiece. It happened to me already where I just started off designing something then afterwards realizing that the colour I used doesn’t go with any of the tshirt colours.

So peeps, keep in mind what the colour of shirt before you design.

Peace out

Whoa – too much acid for me ;)

So many people totally misunderstand tshirt design

I think I am going to write a small bit of advice on tshirt design just now – things people should consider : ranging from colour choices both of the fabric and within the design itself… not to mention balance and some forethought – the best being : would I buy this shirt?….

Yeah…but what about ACID PINK? ;)

Tshirt color is the most important thing you will ever do, more important than breathing, more important than mint in mojito, more important than a planets atmosphere….MORE…dammit its just very important ok.
Choose wisely padawans or your designs may end up being pipped to the post.
Rock on.
