Every now and then, my style preferences in T-shirt fashion
seems to change. The cycle includes plain shirts, skateboarding brands, sports
teams, Ed Roth designs, and surfing culture designs. Now, I’m just interested
in designing my own shirts.
I’ve created two stores to create and sell my designs. I
originally started by using the Café Press Web site. Now, I’ve been spending a
lot of time using the Zazzle Web site. Each Web site has its advantages, and
each design on those sites are a little different due to the design
applications that they use.
The most important part of the design process starts with my
camera, scanner, photo editing applications, and art program. Most of my images
are eventually opened in Microsoft Paint for various simple image manipulation
tasks. The final image is then used in Café Press or Zazzle. From there, I can
add additional text to the designs.
