EDITORS NOTE: Jimiyo is showcasing a template from Vol. 2 of Fitted Ladies Apparel Templates, which we’ll have ready for release in November. For now, check out Vol 1.

Go Media gave me the chance to test out their new women’s t-shirt templates, and I have to say, they are awesome. High quality, crisp images that’s sure to impress my clients since presentation is paramount!

They are simple to use, but here are some tips on how I used them.

First, I copy pasted my flattened high resolution image into the “Your Art” layer.

Apparel Templates A

In the final steps, I like to embellish the composition with a few extra additions.

1. Medium tone stroke and drop shadow.
2. Enlarged, reduced opacity grayscle of the shirt image for the background.
3. After I flatten, I reduce image size for emailing.
4. After reducing image size, I run the “Sharpen” filter to Crispy it up a bit. Make sure to go under edit after sharpening and “Fade Sharpen” to tone down the filter effects.

BLAMMO!

This is a shirt in running at Designbyhumans. If you guys throw me some votes, maybe they will print it!

Thanks for reading!

what’s up with the right sleeve missing a chunk?

@ Ackbar: These can be though of as “beta” versions, especially since this volume isn’t released yet. Be assured the final products will be clean and complete.

Either way, the missing chunk because the end of the sleeve was tucked under.

Are you sure it’s not where someone’s arm was?

Either way, the Illustrator 1998 screen shots hurt my eyes!

Mocking the tee up is always my favorite part of creating tee designs. Good work, Jimiyo.

Sweet, I cant wait till next week when you have the ladies short sleeves out. What about the hoodies? When will they be out, and will you have girls hoodies and guys hoodies out at the same time or are you going to split them up? Or are you even doing womens hoodies?
