you have to put out, sexually.

ok is any one going to answer me iPear does not count

iPear always counts

yeah but not when it comes to a serious question

People make really good designs because these said people are really good designers.

ok but how!?

because they are talented people.



Most work, at least the way I work (grant it none of ya'll have seen it), is I draw or do a mock design of something, scan and it and then trace over it in Illustrator, others scan and then do the coloring etc. in Photoshop. Either way, paper then computer, others have tablets and draw directly into the programs (you have to have good design programs), so it's preference.



Basically they are good...

By having the ability to visually communicate their ideas to t shirt form. huzzah!

That's like asking your parents what position they were in when you were conceived. Everybody does it (or "it") differently.

ok... but i men like if you do w/e then why don't people tell me their method just so i understand

Some people draw and scan. Most people us illustrator or photoshop.

*use

simple: look it up on GOOGLEGOOGLEGOOGLEGOOGLEGOOGLEGOOGLEGOOGLEGOOGLEGOOGLEGOOGLEGOOGLEGOOGLEGOOGLE

Buy a tablet, buy Illustrator, Photoshop, and Painter. And then practice until you get arthritis.



In a more serious answer, like everyone said, it depends on the piece. Pick out a design you really like and then we'll tell you how that person did it (what program and the steps and whatnot)

First step is SKETCH LIKE A MO'FO.

Drugs.

oh oh oh!



emo minus the 'o', switch the letters around you you got ME!









You genius you!

Draw it, scan/photo it, open it in illustrator/photoshop, work over the top of it! simple. ish.

Or, if you're completely inept like me, Live Trace images on Illustrator :P

so hear is a few suggestions take some drafting classes in your high school, they should have the programs you need, spend lots of time drawing, read lots of design books, studythe hell out of art history and color theory, go to college for graphic design, spend those years studying more work, and creating more work, and in a total of maybe 7 or 8 years you too will be creating cool designs

i have a few ideas, but I always thought it was too complicated to upload them, i downloaded the submission pack & it just totally confused me like hell so tell me if i'm right:
• Draw/Sketch Design
• Scan Design
• Open Design and trace in Illustrator
• Submit Design?

Great ideas and great execution.

Both are key to a great design

i stand by my original statement 5 years ago

Do more and more ~ you will improve more and more!! keep it on!!
