STEP 2:
Here we shall use the Online Designer to take all the guesswork out of this designing process. Its pretty simple. Let me show you how you can add your own text, a fresh design, team names and or images onto the blank canvas.
Adding team names ...
From the designer toolbar click 'Add team names', which will then prompt you to list down all the sizes to be included in the order. In case you forget any orders you can come back and edit this to sort things out. So don't worry. Once you hit next, you can go on to edit each team member's name and number in the order. If you select view the Online Designer will open the editing of that shirt so you can customise it to what you want. After you click OK you can always come back to this screen by selecting 'Edit Teamnames in the Product window to the left of the screen.
Adding images or designs ...
From the toolbar lease select 'Add design'. This will prompt you to upload a design. In case you don't have a design you can always get one from our free stock images.
When you do upload your own images wait until the upload is complete. The upload will depend on your internet speed. Once you uploaded the image you will see a prompt about copyright permission agreement before you proceed to place the image onto your garment.
Once your image is placed on the shirt you will see the image properties such as image quality meter (how well it will print), background removal, position and effects (including various visual effects and borders). If the image quality meter is red, please note that it may not print as desired, and we suggest finding another.
Adding text on to the t shirt ...
From the Online Designer toolbar select 'Add personalised text'. This will then ask you to type text. Once you added your text you can see the text properties such as font, colour, outline and more. Along with positioning on the garment, as well as text effects (glows and gradients).
How To Use The Online Designer?
Everything you added, text, images, or team names, can be edited and played with in the designer in numerous ways. Using your mouse or trackpad, you’re also able to resize and reposition all elements you see. From the Locations window to the right, you’re also able to swap between different spots on the garment, front/back or sleeves, etc.
Special tips to get the most out of the Online Designer ...
If you want the best out of your artwork and the final print copy, there are a few things you should always keep in mind:
Image quality & file formats:
Bigger is better! Use this as a good rule of thumb for uploading any image or design for print. Don’t let anyone fool you otherwise.
Saving Artwork:
When creating your own artwork save images in .PNG format for export. Make sure the background is transparent with RGB colour mode at 300 DPI.
Bulk orders: If you’re planning on ordering more than 20 of the same shirts. you may be eligible for a bulk order discount. Get in touch to find out if you make the cut!
