Want to make some custom apparel but don’t have much experience in design? Here are some essential tips for creating appealing t-shirts. At ooShirts, we want to help you come up with the perfect product.
1. Brainstorm.
Think through your designs and create a few different versions of your artwork. Sometimes the perfect design may come to you right away, but explore all your options and see what works and what doesn’t. Test different ink colors, font types, graphics placement and see how results compare.

3. Say Something
Many of our users use custom t-shirts to spread awareness about a cause they support. If you are passionate about something, custom tees are a great way to spread your message.
As you can see, we are all about community. Shirts are perfect for creating a sense of unity, boosting team morale, and sending positive messages about a cause.
4. Make Em’ Laugh
Everybody could use a good laugh! You could have a real winner on your hands if you can cleverly incorporate humor into your shirt design. Try a playful, humorous design, but make sure to keep it light, classy, and non-offensive at the same time.
5. Choose Your Colors Wisely
Without the right color combination, your tee could be an instant flop. When the graphic colors are similar to the garment color, it may become hard to read. Contrasting brighter colors with darker tones can help make your design pop, e.g. white on black, yellow on navy, etc. Try different color combinations and make sure the design is easy to digest.
