Designer T-Shirts - Your Own Personal Attire

by Kathy Austin

There are T-Shirts and T-Shirts; funny t-shirts, cool t-shirts, those t-shirts and these t-shirts covering just about any subject on earth. But there is one t-shirt that is unique - and that is the “Designer” T-Shirt. Now, don’t for a moment think that these distinctive kind of t-shirts are a recent phenomenon. Thomas E. Dewey toyed with the “Dew-IT with Dewey” T-Shirt during his 1948 Presidential campaign and Dwight D. Eisenhower had the “I Like Ike” custom t-shirt with which he won the Presidency in 1952. These are designer t-shirts. T-shirts designed for a specific purpose at a specific time. They may have passed out of the memory of most people, but they served their purpose.

There is no hard and fast rule that designer t-shirts should be created for a sole purpose and then fade away into oblivion, but can be designed even to satisfy ones whims and fancies. It can be verbal or graphical and is left solely to the wearer’s penchant for it. It can be even used to express your particular point of view a particular subject.

The design of custom t-shirts can be said to be the offspring of one percent inspiration and ninety nine percent perspiration - to fall back on a saying attributed to Thomas Edison, the famous inventor. The idea for a particular t-shirt may spring suddenly into your mind, that’s inspiration; the rest is perspiration - hard work - hours and even days of trying to get the idea on to paper and create that perfect image. A twist of a use of a font, a color or shape.

For an individual creating a designer t-shirt throws up a lots of ifs and buts. Menacing questions that tends to confuse and discourage. And in these days when practically every other thing requires a good workable knowledge of the use of a computer, even more questions:

Do I have an aptitude for drawing? Should I first learn how to draw? What are the principles of design? Where can I learn the basics of computer usage? What computer program should I use? Who is going to teach me to use these programs?

The use of computers is not difficult to learn. Most of the programs come with built in help facilities for you to fall back on when stumped. Both online and offline tutorials are also available for just about all computer programs. If you do not have an aptitude for computer use, the Internet abounds with web sites that offer consultation services. Consultants will convert your idea into original, personalized designer t-shirts for a fee.

If you do not have the capacity, the time or even the inclination to use them, do not despair, help is still available. There are Consultants who will give shape to your concepts. Their services can be obtained in person or through the Internet. A few head-to-head interactions with them will soon have your ideas given shape. It is that simple.

The acquisition of a designer t-shirt now throws up another pertinent question. How is to be used? Well, you can selfishly keep it to your self or get a number of them for gifting to either your relatives or your friends. Specifically designed t-shirts can be used to endorse a particular product or even a specific cause. It may be given away as a corporate gift. It is only limited by your imagination.
