Design your t shirts,some designers

By Rekli James

It is well known that the t shirt design in its present form has progressed from the lightweight cotton undershirt worn by soldiers during the First World War, after which, by the 1920's the term "T-Shirt" was included in the Merriam-Webster's Dictionary. By the time World War Two came around, both the Navy and the Army included the T-Shirt as standard issue. All the different t-shirt design that have come into being make it such a versatile garment that it is perhaps the most popular article of clothing known to Americans.

By the end of the last century, designing of custom T-shirts on a Tshirt companies website became very popular. Many Tshirt companies with websites started using digital printing such as DTG printing or Direct to Garment printing, allowing customers to design Tshirts online without the compulsion of having to place a minimum order for T-shirt printing.

So you thought that the only ways to express your creativity was by writing a poem, or painting a picture or composing a song? Well you would have missed a really simple but really appealing way of expressing your creativity: to design your own t shirt. An exclusive t shirt design can be your own unique way of expressing your creativity and your individuality. Your tee shirt design can be as eye catching or understated as you may want it to be. One can really flaunt their individuality by using a unique t shirt design.

Alternatively you can design a t shirt for a specific event, group or organization. Do you have an upcoming business event? Or perhaps a match organized for which the team needs to have an exclusive t shirt design? Are you planning to cheer on a friend or relative who is participating in a team event or competition of some sort by showing your solidarity on a t shirt?

A majority of Americans own more than 10 t shirts each, making that over one and a half billion tees! Apparently if you line them up, they would circle the globe 34 times! It isnt just the younger people who have lots of t shirts, older people also like t shirts almost as much, with the number one reason for loving their tees cited by people as being Comfort.

T shirts can be a good advertising tool and can also be a good morale booster for the employees of a company because they can increase a sense of belonging and can foster a healthy team spirit. So as a branding exercise and also as a great employee give away, the company t shirt is a very good idea.

Many online t shirt sites make it really simple for you to design a t shirt: it can be as simple as 1) Put a picture on it and 2) Write on it and you have designed your own t shirt! You can choose whether you want a one sided t shirt or if you want a two sided one; you can even have it so there is only a picture on the front and the lettering on the back or vice versa. - 16651
