TJR Cool Graphics Graphic Art Designs and Tutorials
TJR Cool Graphics is graphic design central for people at the start of their graphic art design career as well as those who have had a professional design career for years.
Do you have an amazing design that you'd love to see on a T-shirt but you just don't know where to start? I'll have suggestions for both simple, at home solutions as well as more involved processes used by professionals in the field of graphic design.
- Discover how to index your design using Photoshop.
- Learn about using Photoshop and Illustrator to create the right base plate for your design.
- Understand the differences between Illustrator and Photoshop and how they work together.
Did you know that a lot of T-shirt designs are printed with a maximum of 8-12 colors, including the base plate? And those colors are reduced even more if specialty inks such as glow-in-the-dark or crystalina are used.
As well as software, there is also choosing the right computer and hardware. Mac versus PC; which one is better for you? Is a small digital tablet just as good as a large one? What about drawing everything by hand and scanning it into the computer? Much of it comes down to preference, but with a little information, the choices can be fine tuned to individual need.
For those of you interested in art and imagery, there are dozens of free cool graphics available from fantasy creatures to traditional animals. You can use one of my designs for your projects or you can learn how to draw your own graphic art design through step by step instructions.
You can also purchase any one of the "How To" e-books as they become available.
