Fire! Heads up: I used to hate the Libraries function too, but it ends up being hella useful if you go between Photoshop and Illustrator, also to store smart objects for different mockups.
Thanks for sharing your work process. For selecting I often go between the lasso tool and quick mask. However, lately I've been using the pen tool to create faster selections while giving me some flexibility using bezier curves. Sometimes I run out of alpha channels too, so I'll save paths as well. Do you ever use the pen tool to create selections?
@@FULLERMOE well thats one of the coolest things about creating art and graphics, there's always 6 in one and half a dozen ways to get to the same place. The process can be as individual as the creator
Thank u for the tutorial thi is very helpful for us beginning in clothing brand that we are the one who edits, market, creating ideas, and others. Yo its a big help thank u so much!!
Watch my video called How To Design Bootleg Rap Style Text. I break down some classic bootleg graphics and shout out the font names. There’s also a link in the description to those fonts. 💯
Thank you for the tutorial! Do you print on dark transfer paper and cut the edges of the letter or you cut straight horizontally on top and bottom before doing a heat press?
99% of what I do ends up screen printed, I honestly am not that familiar with at home or alternative print methods other than DTG. Might be some UA-cam videos about your question though! 💯
I feel you. Wish I had a good answer, but I'm not really familiar with Gimp or some of the other alternative design programs. Worse case scenario, you can use those programs to better develop your taste in terms of creating layouts/compositions, colors, etc and then when you have enough money (you can get Photoshop 2021 for $21 a month), make the move the PS and use the skills you've developed.
Nope! I don't do color seps. Been told it actually makes life harder for the screen printer because most have their own unique method. Better to just watch my video on how to finalize artwork and do that.
Hey man, huge fan of your work and this tutorial! Followed it and got an awesome design that I would love to send to print, just have a couple questions! 1. Since it has a black background, when I want it to print, how do I either get rid of the background so the gradients and textures are still able to be seen and would this be applicable for any color shirt? 2. If I have to print on black, that's okay, but everywhere I go to print the blacks don't match up at least in the preview, so is there a way to ensure that I will be able to get consistency in color as far as printing goes? Thanks so much!
I like how transparent u edit mahn. Ure emotions and expressions are real hahahaha i got the same vibes sometimes. Hahaha best part @ 16:25 haahhahahaha woaaaah wtf.. u rock mahn thanks for the tutorial! 🤙🤙
Haha, I'm sorry - a lot of this stuff is like second nature to me. Try to go at a speed people can follow, but sometimes I slip up. If you're having any specific issues, you can always DM me on Instagram (@fuller.moe) for help. 💯
Hey, I really enjoyed the tutorial, I hope you don't mind if I ask a personal question. Do you use a heat press to transfer your designs onto shirts or do you find someone to do that because that's my dilemma here, I don't have a heat press or any of the sort but have a design I wanna create than use. More of a memorial type of shirt for a loved one who passed recently.
Love your work bro, I seen someone in the comment ask a similar question.. but I want to to design vintage style sports & music T’s like this but I’m not sure with copyright infringement laws. Have you ever experienced and cease & desist orders?
Because I wear mostly black shirts and it's my design channel, haha. Also, I feel like most of the old sports tees that are super dope are black. Just look at some clothing brands you like or old shirts to get inspiration. Appreciate you watching.
I wish I had a good answer for that! Probably just a matter of using Google and comparing reviews/prices depending on what you want. Most of what I do is screen printed, so I'm really only confident speaking to that process. 💯
I personally use 15" W x 25" H for all t-shirt designs, but you can always just use a tape measure on whatever t-shirt graphic you like and make your canvas that size
@@FULLERMOE Thanks for the reply! Do you usually size the design differently for small, medium, large, XL shirts or keep the same design dimensions? I’d assume it becomes trickier to get it printed from a third party with different dimensions for each size shirt.
What shirt brand or products should I use. And is there a method to put in on the shirt in the cleanest way possible?? I wanna make some for myself with some more underground athletes and artists🔥
Every time I try to paste an image to the initial black background it is super low quality. I make sure to only use large pictures. Do you have advice on how to fix this? Love the videos bro
Maybe your canvas is too large? You'll likely have to resize, regardless...even if you're using "large" photos from Google. You're welcome to DM me on Instagram if you need extra help.
So I used this tutorial to make a Michael Scott tee from the office. Was just wondering how I’d go about printing it. I got the image from E News. Any advice or suggestions ?
The main purpose of my channel is to get you guys familiar with Photoshop, but I understand not everyone can afford it. I'll definitely consider reviewing some free software, that's a great idea. Let me think on that! 💯
Fuller Moehagen yea I’m using an application called gimp it’s an alternative for photoshop I actually use it for making collages but I’m not sure how to make the vintage shirts on the application.
So do I gotta pay for photoshop? And is it better to create shirts on a laptop or iPad or can I even go buy doing it on a iPad ? All I have is a iPad right now
Yes, you can get Photoshop for $22 a month. I recommend using a small laptop if at all possible, because the iPad version of Photoshop is not that same as laptop/desktop.
I don't really print anything at home, so hard to say. But basically anything you design in Photoshop can be used for any printing method - the artwork just needs to be set up correctly.
Great video sir, do you mind if I ask how are most of these vintage style shirts printed, is it Direct To Garment from a printer, or screen printing? (I’m wondering if I whipped myself up a custom design, how I should go about having it printed). Thanks again for the great content.
The majority of my graphic works ends up being screen printed. It usually just comes down to budget for most people, because you can print 5-10 shirts with DTG but that's not an option for screen printing. You'll get the best quality with screen printing and it ends up being cheaper PER SHIRT but overall can be a bigger commitment, money-wise.
Is it there any specific parameters when you gonna save the image? i mean the format or anything else? PD: Thanks for your amazing tutorials man, i learned a lot in 3 days of using photoshop and doing tees also.
Thanks so much for watching. I just always save as a PSD with all the layers in tact. I’ll generally save the file as “edit.psd” until I’m done working on the design and then rename it as “designname-final.psd” or something like that.
Love this vid brother, whats the best way to go about getting permission from nba players/rappers etc. ? I feel like it’d be hit and miss for them to see my message or email
Hey Cody, thanks for watching. Yeah, it's incredibly hard for an individual to obtain the rights to use the likeness or name of anyone famous. You gotta put yourself in their shoes. What's the incentive for them? If you're going to sell a million shirts because your brand is already huge, you might have a shot. Or if you're a merchandising company who can get the designs into retail stores. Both of those things require a lot of hard work. It's not impossible to achieve either by any means. Just takes work.
Guys I’m new to Adobe programs. I’ve been wanting to do this kind of work . Should I focus more on photoshop or illustrator for t shirt design? I know both programs a little
you make this look so easy. meanwhile its 4am and im ready to throw my laptop.
Keep practicing! It takes time. You’ll get there. 💯
YOOOO THIS IS THE ONE 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I hit you back on IG 💯
Fuller Moehagen could you let me know how as well?
Great concept. Thanks for sharing.
This was super useful thanks. How can I do a gradient overlay that fades to a transparent background? I'm really struggling

Great video. What kind of printing would be best for this kind of art. And also where can I purchase vintage plain tees?

you can just merge the gradient to the layer below so it sticks on to it bro, so that you can export it without the blacks @@Muhliciouss

What is the process for getting the design on a shirt. Idk much but doesn’t seem like screen print. Is this down in a different way like a ink print?
You could absolutely use screen print (if you have the budget for it) or DTG
@@FULLERMOE thanks for the reply bro!
You can only use on Apple computer
You can use on any computer with Photoshop
are there any websites that offer printing sevices for cheap. I just wanna print one for myself to wear thanks

Send me a vid on IG so I can see what you mean! We’ll sort it out. @fuller.moe
bro, can u make the tutorial how to save design in photoshop for t-shirt printing. bcs i dont know should what, jpeg or png?
You need to save as a Photoshop (.PSD) file. This will keep your layers in tact and allow further edits to be made to your artwork as needed. 💯

I'd say make the ring really big and put it in the background
