After some thought, I came up with this tagline for the blog, "4.5 Billion Years in the Making... Unearth Its Past louisvillefossils.com" So I began
exploring different graphic designs that one could put on a t-shirt with that phrase. It seemed
like an interesting creative exercise to see what type of geological or
paleontological graphics one could create. After some research, I was amazed
at all the different types of t-shirts in a wide variety colors and
styles.
The web site to visit
is ooshirts.com which creates cheap custom sweatshirts. The site is very easy to use and has a clean layout. They have
staff that can help you Monday thru Friday 8 am to 5:30 pm PST either on the
phone, live chat, or by e-mail.
I decided on using an image of planet Earth with text around it
It seemed easy enough
so once a graphic was created (shown in the above), it was time to browse to
ooshirts.com. The site showed 30 different styles of t-shirts to choose from.
The most popular is the Gildan cotton t-shirt which is what I went with available
in 33 colors and 9 sizes (XXS-4XL). They also had clothing brands to choose
from: Canvas, Hanes, Jerzees, Champion, and Anvil.
Using the
ooshirts.com Design Lab option in the browser, a shirt and color were chosen, the art tab was selected, and
graphic design uploaded. While the image used already had text embedded, there
is a Design Lab text tool that has loads of fonts in 11 different styles. Next
step was to switch to the other side of the shirt and add the fluor de lis logo
and blog name. Added a message using the add notes icon to tell the staff the
graphics should centered on the shirt and contact me if the images needed a
higher resolution. Saved the design using my e-mail address and unique name,
which gave me a web address to look at the design later. Pressed the quote and
checkout icon and finished my order. Nice thing is the shirt order is given in
an All-Inclusive Price with shipping.
ooshirts.com shipped
the shirt and it arrived quickly days later. Looks great and I would recommend
them to all to create cheap custom sweatshirts in a hassle free
environment for quick turn around. Everyone I showed it to likes it. I washed it cold water and then air dried it and it looks good. So check out
www.ooshirts.com for your cheap custom sweatshirt needs, I am glad I did!
Here is picture of the actual shirt I received.
