T-shirt Overlay look
I have a piece i'm working on in Illustrator, currently. I have a photo of a t-shirt and my vector image on the layer above it. I'm trying to get the right color for my object, but, it looks the very best when I select "Overlay" for my transparency.

My object then has a nice textured look and color. Can I use "Overlay" for designs, or is there another way I have to do it in order to make it look textured like the shirt? If I have to do it another way, are there any good websites that show you how to do it?

Thanks all.

so if the design were to be printed, you want it to have a textured look, or are you just wanting that for the submission mock-up?

you just have to manually create the textures and colours if that's how you want it to look in the final thing

xiv, yes. I want the textured look on the final design. The problem is that the t-shirt texture is pretty subtle. But, still cool.



Thanks.

Once you're done with the design, open the AI file in Photoshop & rasterize in 300 dpi and save a copy as Gif / Jeg.
