LOGO's and Printing

[El_Mariachi]

Hi, I just wanted to know what program I could use if I wanted to design logos for printing on clothing.

I wanted to make a couple of tshirts for personal use. It's for my drama club. They are just basic blank white t-shirts and I wanted to know what I could use to print the logos/designs onto the tshirt? Are there some sort of printers? What is the process like?

Thanks.

I am not in the drama club myself LOL . But I know that you should use Coreldraw or Adobe Illustrator to design the Logo and arrange the text. Out of the two software programs that I mentioned, Coreldraw is the easier of the two to use.

I think you can buy special iron on printer paper, so that you can print the design on to the t-shirts.

You can do it with just about any photo/paint program out there... as long as you have the proper transfer paper... the iron-on kind.

Photoshop, Indesign, Illustrator, Paint Shop Pro, etc. Just be sure you got the paper.

HA HA! Drama Club!

Just kidding...

You'd be surprised how many hot chicks i've met from drama club! The female to male ratio is like 4 to 1.

The logos are easier to design in Illustrator versus Photoshop or some photo editing program. The vector based programs are easier to use and come out cleaner. The latter is a bitmap based program, dealing in pixels.

To create the logo, use a vector based program such as Illustrator or CorelDraw. If you are printing it, make sure the image color file is CMYK. The printer should do the rest.
Cheers.
