In this video, I'll show you step by step how you can create bootleg, vintage style graphics for t-shirts and apparel in Photoshop. I've designed in this style for the likes of Snoop Doggy Dogg, The Notorious B.I.G., 21 Savage, Johnny Cash and tons of others. Many of those graphics have made their way to retail stores like Rue 21, Hot Topic, Kohl's and Forever 21. There are so many ways to design these types of concepts and this is how I do it.

I remember when they use to sell these shirts at the hair store and flea markets for $10 now $40 at urban outfitters 🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️🤣🤣🤣
For real! Lmao. I used to buy shirts at record stores for $12 and now they’re $300 on eBay. 🤦♂️
Inflation
Being from Detroit we used to go to gilbraltor trade center and clean up. 10 a shirt
I STILL find them there. Dont sleep!
Jamario Clinton when I first started doing vintage thats the first spots I hit. Cleaned em out! Put me in business. 🙏🏼🧩
Thanks so much for this, I've been looking for a comprehensive tutorial for at least a year now. Please keep the content coming!
Appreciate the support! Yep, I'll have new vids coming soon.
Same!!!!
💯
Seriously this is awesome bro! Thanks again!
You gotta give the Pen Tool a shot to mask out his body, you'll do the same exact thing as the brush but a much cleaner cut. When you're done, right click > turn the path into a selection with a .5 mask and its cut.
I've tried it! Don't like it. But I appreciate the comment.
I bought the bundle pack and definitely needed the tutorial to get a better understanding. thanks
Thanks so much for the support 💯
I found hundreds of these back around 2012. Still have pics of them all I owned Detroit Deadstock Vintage Sportswear. Working on a Detroit Vipers Bootleg Design as I own that TM and found your channel. Thanks!
"Snoop.....dawggy..dawg" 10/10 content thank you so much
Thanks so much for watching!
Bless your soul!!!! No one says how to do this. I've been searching for a year! I have the layout just need to add the FX.
That's amazing to hear! Thanks so much for watching.💯
very humble. I also wanna be an industry creative, I wanna thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. Like i cant go to school and learn this stuff anywhere
Thanks so much for watching. I feel you on that, I was in college for Graphic Design and didn't learn anything I wanted to. So glad these videos are helpful! 💯
YO MAN quick question my lasso keeps disappearing right when I start to connect a new edge. for an example, it marks 1 and then it disappears when I mark another. Do you have any idea why? i started a new layer like you did in the video
@@KidsMakingArt Yes, you see the 4 boxes in the top left corner under the word "File" when you have the Polygonal Lasso tool selected? Make sure that second box from the left is checked. That will allow you to make multiple selections.
Been looking for stuff like this for over a year 🙏🙏 thank you
That's awesome to hear! Thank you for watching 💯👊
Thanks for this my G! def sat through and didn't get bored at all. I would love to see how this is then submitted to a screenprinter and what they need in order to put this on a t shirt?
Yes, I'll definitely have a video out soon about how to finalize and send artwork for screenprinting. Thank you for watching! 💪💯
@@FULLERMOE did you make one pal this was super helpful but halftoning it is baffling me
Yeeeah, I don’t mess with halftones when I’m finalizing art for print. Cuz every color separator has their own method so you’ll just be making their life harder.
@@FULLERMOE Appreciate the response man, so do you just send this off or is there any other steps to make the printers colour separation easier?
this is such a great tutorial, I don't remember the last time that I worked along with a how-to video so fluently. Great teacher and great content! Keep it up man
Man, that's what I like to hear! That's absolutely my goal. Thanks so much for watching. 💯

Fuller Moehagen the best for these type of shirt screen print or something else ?
Any full color process is good. Really comes down to your budget. DTG is ultimately more expensive per shirt but sometimes makes more sense if you’re just starting out. Screen printing is less expensive per shirt but will have you’ll have to meet minimums.
Loved this tutorial, can’t wait to try it out! Probably the first 40 minute tutorial I didn’t skip through a single second👍
That’s amazing to hear! Thanks so much for watching. 💯
its crazy to see how some of the techniques have changed on photoshot or have been just completly automated like backround removal lol
Thanks bro for the idea and nice tutorial tho!
Thanks so much for watching!
your tutorials really helped me start a business, i started graphic design the first summer of the pandemic when i had free time. With your tutorials showing me how to make t shirts and photography i had a decent source of income so thank you so much!!!
That's so dope! Appreciate you watching and glad they've been helpful
34 dislikes.. crazy, this is one of the best videos on the internet!
Yeah, there's always gonna be people like that out there. Appreciate the love 💯
bro ! you're the shit I've been tryna do this shit forever .Thank You !! you definitely made me a million dollars with this.
Yooo, thank you! I'll be waiting for that commission check in the mail lmao 💯
@@FULLERMOE nah you good. ill buy the master pxck tho
yooo this is great video. i search for long time to see video how to make some tutorial about vintage 90s bootleg shirt or design photoshop..keep it up man,pls stay upload video like this
I appreciate it! I'm glad it was helpful.
Great tutorial man. Thanks a lot! I learned Photoshop by myself so these type of videos are cool to see that there are easier ways to do a lot of the stuff I've been doing. Keep up the good work!! Subscribed
Amazing, thanks so much for watching! 💯
Thanks you so much for your turoial. I'm waiting for your next content
Coming soon. Thanks so much for watching!
hey man this is a great video, definitely deserves more views. Keep up the good work and try to make more ivdeos like these!
Thanks so much! Yeah, I definitely plan on making some similar videos since this one seems to really resonate with people. 💪
Great video Fuller! Have you thought about adding timestamps so we can refer back to certain steps? That would be dope.
YES! Making a point to go through my videos and do that this year. Appreciate the suggestion.
great video ....thanx for sharing your expertise learned alot
Absolutely, thanks so much for being here! 💯
Very inspiring the way you teach
Appreciate you saying that. Thanks for watching! 💯
Oh man, this tutorial rules!! What's the best way to print this onto a tee? t shirt transfer paper?
Thanks! Watch this video. I go over this question and a few others. ua-cam.com/video/0T5mZ5iJO0I/v-deo.html
Any tips for figuring out a vintage bottleg color palette, The toughest part haha
That's like the easiest part, haha. Just look at old school shirts and the colors they use.
Really cool tutorial man! I subscribed
Thanks Tim, I appreciate that! 💯👊
Best video out there!
🙏🤝 Thank you
You can just use the poly lasso tool to outline each piece and push f5 to fill. Way faster
That works. There are a few ways to do it. It might be “faster” but faster isn’t always better. Whatever works best for you, do that! Appreciate the comment and you watching. 💯
When cutting out shapes, you don't use the pen tool and make the path a selection & delete the rest? This is what I do instead of the masking like you demonstrated
Nope! I’ve done that before, but with more complicated graphics I haven’t gotten the results I was looking for. Whatever works for you is good though!
Very cool video
Thanks for watching! 💯
what a legend!
omg! You are amazing!!! So glad I found your page!!! New sub from Little Rock, Arkansas!!!! Going to go dive into more of your content! Thank you! ❤❤💯💯👏👏
You are so inspire! Cool bro🔥🔥
Thanks so much for watching 💯
awesome stuff man!
Thanks so much! 💯
This is awesome. You earned a sub!
Thanks so much! That means a lot. Appreciate you watching. 💯
Can you do a how to marino morwood tee? he basically makes bootleg design tees too and i've been wondering like crazy how he does his. Especially the future tee
Marino does his own designs. I would say this is the best video tutorial to start and learn as you do your own designs and screen print. Check out DavidMeetsWorld on his bootleg rap tees and his recent Snoop Dogg Drop.
The process is very similar! Everyone has their own techniques and I can see Marino Morwood puts a lot of emphasis on unique, details text. I could possibly see doing a video on that in the future.
Love the details, thanks man!
What’s up Fuller! Thanks for doing these videos! I’m really starting to get into graphic design and these tutorials are so good! Could you do a video a video on some of the tools you use to help you create? Looking forward to the next new tutorial! 🙏🏾
Thanks for watching! Stick around, I’m doing my best to create videos that will help designers who are just starting out. 👍💯
Great vid.. Thanks bro appreciate it.. been creating my own since i saw this!!
By the way @39:50 that was the seam of the hoodie not a gold chain. Lol just saying bro..
Lmaoooo you're right, that's so funny
Your videos are very helpful
That's dope to hear! Thanks so much for watching. 💯
You made this look so easy! I really want to give it a go but my photoshop skills are non existent so will probably take me hours and look terrible :)
Everyone starts at zero, me included. There was a time when I didn't know anything about Photoshop. Just gotta understand that being frustrating and practicing is simply part of the journey.
so fire
Appreciate you watching 💯
First video of this class, if you keep this videos you'll keep getting my likes
Appreciate it! Thanks so much for watching.
thanks dude
very helpful. Thanks
Thanks so much for watching 💯
for the design to blend well with a black shirt for instance , how do you know the amount of blacks to remove from the photo ? the black background you used may not actually be the shade of the black color on a black shirt .
If the shirt is printed correctly, all the blacks would be removed so it wouldn't matter if the t-shirt was pure black, dark grey, etc. 💯
Needed this thank you 🖤❗️
Thanks so much for watching! 💯👊
Thanks bro much love 🔥🔥🔥
Thank you for being here! 💯
Do you remember those old Magic Johnson T's? They had designs all over. Would love to be able to make one similar since the originals are hard to find and extortionate.
13:30 for future reference
Man u deserve more viewsp
Haha, I appreciate that!
can u make a list of the fonts usually used for bootleg designs?
That's actually a great idea. Maybe I'll just make a separate video for that, since this video resonated with so many people. Thanks for the comment!
@@FULLERMOE thanks for this vid too ive been looking for a vid like this and ive made my first design :)
@@cholo1554 That's great to hear!
When I use the Polygonal Lasso tool to create the 3D effect, the shapes I'm making disappear when I move on to the next one. So I'm stuck on this step, please help. Dope content btw! I'm learning a lot.
I definitely should've mentioned this in the video, but you see those 4 boxes towards the top left of Photoshop, under the word "File"? Make sure the second box is selected and you'll be good. 💯
oh! Thank you for this tutorial!
Thanks for being here! 💯
crazy tutorial! Subbed
Appreciate that! Thanks so much 💯
This is awesome! do you have a video where you show how you get the designs on the shirts? or how you submit your designs to the stores?
Thanks, Kiara! I have a video about how to finalize artwork for print, so be sure to watch that before sending off anything to a printer. Then I also have a tutorial on how to mock t-shirts. Check out both those videos! 💯
Fuller Moehagen Thank you so much!!
In regards to drawing around the picture to get the cut out - what do you do when the person has a lot of loose hairs?
Sadly, there isn't a quick fix to this! Honestly, in my experience, if you just get the majority of their hair inside the cut out area, you'll be fine. The only exception is when their hair is big part of their overall image. For example, someone like Cher. Just do your best!
Fuller Moehagen thank you!
Where would be the best place to find high quality photos of hip hop artists at?
You can't really find copyright free photos of any contemporary artists. There are probably more historical figures/artists who would be ok to use but even that could be an issue. I wouldn't really recommend it if your plan is to sell the shirts.
@@FULLERMOE So places illegally sell artists image on clothes at stores 🤔
@@flipinfin I'm sure some do, but any legit store doesn't.
What are the intellectual properties and copyright with vintage t-shirts like this please
If you don't have permission from the artist, athlete, celebrity, etc then you can't legally make money off photos of them.
Nice. Thank you.
💯 Thank you for being here
Hey Moe , How do we go about finding the best images for our designs? And if we want to get our designs in stores what advice would you give us? How do we get our work seen by celebrities and big stores?
DM me on Instagram (@fuller.moe) and I'll do my best to answer this question.
love this thank uuuu, u just earned a sub!
Appreciate you watching! 💯Thanks for the sub
If you want precision you may as well use the pen tool???? The line you drew was not very clean at all. I’d rather use the magic selector and just feather and smooth the edges slightly
I hear you! I think I mention in the video that I did the masking shape a lot faster than I normally would, just to keep the tutorial shorter. I've just found in all the photo shirts I've done that drawing manually works best. Just don't get the results I'm looking for with the other more automated tools. Do whatever works best for you! 💯✌️
Hey these are great tutorials and I'm so glad I found your channel! Do you know where I can find high resolution images like the ones you're using? Thanks!
Google
So i basically can use any pics from google of famous artist and work on that ? Im also concerned about copy right issues
Basically, you cannot. I try to mention it in all my videos (this is an old one, not sure if I mentioned or not). But you can't use copyrighted photos if you plan on making t-shirts and selling them.
Aye Donald Glover in the background ✌🏾
Yeee I designed all the merch for his This Is America Tour 💯Miss going to shows!
DAMN BIG THANKS BROTHA
Thank you for watching! 💯🙏
So if we were done say how you made the snoop what do we save it as like a png or jpeg then print out to put on shirt or how’s that work so basically after doing what you did it’s basically a svg or sublimation or how to get on t shirt
This video might be helpful! ua-cam.com/video/GTntZwiluck/v-deo.html
Fuller Moehagen ok I watched but I guess my question is , what export settings do we need to save to our desktop so then we can print on shirt
Not just how you brought a shirt in and put the design on the shirt what export settings do we export to desktop to be put on an actual shirt is it the 15x 25 or what ever you said as a jpeg or png or something else
You just save it as a Photoshop (PSD) file. There’s not “export” settings.
@@rapstartv1276 There are no "export settings" - you just save your file as a native Photoshop (.PSD) file. If you're still confused, feel free to DM me on Instagram (@fuller.moe).

Thank you so much 💯
Thank you so much for this tutorial!! so dope, I made my design but which site or where would you recommend people to go to if they want it screen printed on a shirt for themselves? Thanks again `
Thanks for watching! I actually wouldn't recommend a site for printing. Make a post on Facebook or Instagram and ask for suggestions on local screen printers. That way you'll hopefully find someone nearby and you can support the community while building a solid business relationship. Plus you'll save on shipping!
Took me so long to find out why when I adjusted the stroke I couldn’t get rid of the white. Important thing to note is that my Stroke Position was set to Inside as opposed to Outside.
Yeah, those small details matter! Thanks so much for watching. Be sure to watch my follow up to this video because the methods are more current (I'm always learning).
Can you remake a vintage design but implement a cartoon effect on a image/person?
I think I know what you mean. I don't use a lot of those filters in Photoshop. Prefer to use a more photorealistic approach. Let me think about how I could do this for you though. 👍
So dope! I had a hard time getting the eclipse circle to change colors. Can i email you my image work for feedback?
Thank you! Instagram is better (@fuller.moe). Will hit you back when I can!
You ever try using the Blending tool in Illustrator and then bringing it over to PS for the 3D shadow effect?
I haven't tried that. Does it work pretty well? 💯
Fuller Moehagen Yes it does! Saves the time of connecting points.
Where are you talking about sending it in to?
Not sure what you're talking about, but maybe I was speaking about merchandising companies I work with?
I was wondering where did you get the photos you used for the design? Also were they free for commercial use? Btw great job on this!! Definitely worth buying!! 💯
Thanks for the comment, Ian! For any t-shirt designs that I create for artists, I get assets (photos, logos, etc) from the record label or merchandising company. So those companies have the rights to use the photos, as do I. For designs in general, I always suggest using a copyright free photography website such as Pexels or iStock. Appreciate you watching! 💯
@@FULLERMOE I appreciate your swift and thorough response! Thank you for this, Fuller!! More power to you!! 💪💪
Fuller Moehagen hello i have a question, if i download a picture in pexels, will i get copyright issues when i sell them,, thanks coming from a person who’s planning to start selling designed shirts
"Snoop Dawggy Dawg's Dog".
:)
Hey, I'm not sure where you got the fonts! Love this ty
Link in the description. Thanks for watching!
please make a vintage t-shirt design tutorial on adobe illustrator.
I'm a 95% Photoshop guy, so an Illustrator tutorial wouldn't be great. However, the goal of my channel is to show y'all that you can create very clean, vector-esque graphics using Photoshop alone. Remember, if the end goal is screen printed, the resolution only needs to be so high. Anything beyond that is just showing off. That being said, I have great respect for Illustrator designers. It was just never my thing! Appreciate the comment.
Great channel just found it!🔥 What would be the best printing method for these designs? Dtg, heat transfer or screen print?
ALWAYS recommend screen printing 💯 Thanks so much for watching!
hey, about the rappers photos, should we give credits to all the photographers or what? i wanted to sell some bootleg tees but I found that there's a problem about the photos that we use, thx
Thanks for the comment! Essentially, unless you have the rights to not only the photo, but for the artists themselves you cannot sell anything with those images on them. 💯
Thanks for the video. Very useful. You mention screen printing. Can screen printing handle gradients? I always thought colours had to be solid for screen printing. If I am wrong then that opens up a whole world of opportunities. I have made designs with gradients but always got them done by people who can print direct to garment.
I think I'm gonna go and make myself a Cool J shirt using your ideas.
Cheers.
Thanks for the comment! Man, in my experience there's very little that screen printing can't handle. It definitely varies from company to company because everyone has different levels of expertise and technology - but yeah, I've never had any issues with printing gradients or anything else. 💯
This tutorial is the best I've been coming back to it for the past few days! Just a quick q, when I use the magic wand tool after drawing the outline it sometimes selects only part of the image. Then when I use colour overlay it doesn't fill in the image it covers the whole layer. Do you know why this keeps happening?
Hey, thanks for watching! It sounds like you're using the magic wand on the layer that your photo (or whatever object you're trying to mask) is on. So the wand is grabbing the photo rather than the outlined shape you created.
I suggest rewatching the video and making sure you don't miss any steps. If you're still having trouble, go ahead and DM me on Instagram (fuller.moe) and I'll help you out. 💯
very good video
Thanks so much for watching 💯
Hi, Why do you use RGB color mode instead of CMYK? I thought it should be CMYK because it is for printing.
I don't do my own color seps, that's really when you need to worry about what color mode you in. At least that's been my experience. Even if you use CMYK in Photoshop, it's not going to change the fact that there will be some differences in color when you're going from digital to physical.
Now How do we put these designs on a shirt? What are the best websites that have t-shirts that give you that vintage feel and ain’t expensive?
Once you have your Photoshop file ready to send, you can contact any screen printing company to have your art printed. The bad news is that any company who has vintage/distressed t-shirt blanks is going to charge a lot of them. My advice, if you want to do it right, is to really save and make sure you have the budget. Bella Canvas has some great, vintage/mineral wash blanks. I also recommend Dyenomite and Comfort Colors for brands. Thank you for watching!
Fuller Moehagen Do you know any good Screen Printing Companies Online???
@@williamssmith8773 I would recommend going local first, if at all possible. Search for screen printers in your area. I've never used an online service for screen printing. If you want to go that route, I suggest using Google to search for the top screen printing companies and compare prices/quality. Best of luck!
Fuller Moehagen How much do you usually spend all together? Including the Shirts (10 shirts) + Screen Printing?
@@williamssmith8773 Most screen printing companies have a minimum and it's generally more than 10 t-shirts. If you're looking for a low quantity to start, it's going to cost more per t-shirt. I would look into DTG printing (Direct To Garment) if that's the route you're going.
thanks so much for sharing the tutorial! i have a question that Where should we to find a high-definition images?🙏🙏
Do you have def jam fight for New York type fonts ?
Wow, that is very specific! Haha. You're welcome to send me some pics on Instagram (@fuller.moe) and I can try to tell you what fonts were used. Otherwise, the website WhatTheFont.com might be really useful.
Great video. When I'm trying to connect the corners with the polygon lasso tool it will not let me create more than one selection. How do I make multiple selections for all the corners?
See the 4 boxes at the top? Some are two boxes, etc. Make sure the second one is selected that says "Add to selection"
Great tutorial man! Really apreciate it. You earned a sub from me. 💯
Really appreciate that, it means a lot! 💯
Can you use these for profit without any legal ramifications???
Noooope
how do you make the photo you use not blurry
The best thing you can do is start with a high-resolution photo. If you need to enlarge your photo a *little bit* in Photoshop, it's not a big deal - but if you're going in with a small image and trying to print it on a shirt, it's going to look very blurry and not print well. So my suggestion is to utilize as high of resolution photo as you can from the beginning. Thank you for watching!
If i will left this black area on graphic this black spots will be printed (screen printed) on clothes?
Nope, not if they do it correctly.
Like you jus print it on a regular printer or u have to get a special printer
You can work with a local screen printer if you'd like to make t-shirts from your design.
After I edit the photo can I make it into CMYK layers to print a transparent paper for screen printing burns?
Great question - my honest answer is that I'm not sure, but probably? I'm more on the design side and less on printing. Definitely worth a shot though?
Dope 🔥
💯
What is the best company to get these types of shirts printed?
Go local if possible! Just Google "Your city/town screen printer" and/or get recommendations if possible. Maybe hit up a local clothing brand and see who they print with?
