Working with Photoshop and Illustrator takes a lot of getting used to. You practically have to take a college course to fully understand all of the programs’ tools and features. In order to create a vector design or even pixel graphics makes using image-rendering software a basic necessity. Of course, you’ll need quite some time and experience to realize graphics the way you imagine them. So, go ahead and enroll yourself in a college course, work some overtime shifts to scrape up the tuition, study hour after hour, grind, grind and grind some more or… just give Spreadshirt’s Graphics Service a try. They offer an easy solution to help develop your designs swiftly and professionally.
You know what you want; it’s all in your head. Yet you can’t quite work it out with the software. Instead of discarding your idea, you can avail yourself of the professional assistance offered by Spreadshirt’s Graphics Service. In a matter of 2-5 business days, we will unleash our graphics pros all over you idea, sketch, image—whatever— and make a finished, polished, professional design available in your User Area. You will receive both a confirmation and the invoice via email. Then you will be able to decide whether you want to use the graphics for your own purposes only or make it available for your Shop and/or the Marketplace.
And all this for just $19.99 per design! You can use any payment method available with Spreadshirt including coupons.
How the Graphics Service helps
Our Asset Manager Hannes has been in charge of Spreadshirt’s Graphics Service for five years already, and he knows that “80% of the time, vectorization is the problem.” Turning pixel graphics into printable vector graphics files is the usual issue, and making vector graphics fit for print is another one (e.g. when the line strength doesn’t meet the criteria). Graphic files need to be simplified or enlarged, and sometimes customers need us to create pixel graphics from scratch.
What do you need to do?
In your User Account, you’ll find the Graphics Service in “Designs & Products”. Here, you can upload a draft of the design and add a description – the more detailed and precise, the better. And if you already know the products you want to print the design on, please include this info as well. It will help the Graphics Team adjust the design to the printable area of the respective products (and avoid creating designs that are too small or too big for the product).
Creating a design sometimes takes a mere 5 minutes, but it can take up to 3 hours. Designs are as different and diverse as they come, and we receive requests to render designs for private use and the Marketplace. Please remember: regardless of the purpose, you’re going to own the rights.
Here’s what you’ll get
If you’re not completely happy with our service, or if there has been an obvious misunderstanding, Spreadshirt’s Graphics Service will remedy whatever it is that’s not to your liking. You can ask for up to two amendments of the design you initially receive, meaning you’re going to get up to three different suggestions from our Service Team. If you’re not happy with the final result, we’ll cancel your request free of charge.
“We want our Partners to be happy, and this is why we’ll let them know if fulfill their expectations. Maybe they want a blurry photo to look sharper or vector graphics in more than 3 colors – things like this are just not possible. The same applies to vector graphics with a photo-realistic look.”
Creating designs without any image editing software
You can realize and offer your designs, even if you’re not a Photoshop pro. Some resellers are still quite successful! All it takes is a big following on social media (Facebook, YouTube, etc.), and there’s a good chance you can sell a lot of products to your peers.
You could also pursue the old learning-by-doing approach. “Anyone can acquire basic image processing skills for digital print, just give it a go and a bit of time,” Hannes says.
“Some people say you can learn the basics of any given software in a matter of 20 hours. What’s more important is identifying topics that appeal to your customers, such as ‘animal vector graphics,’ etc. Check out a few video tutorials, and you’ll get your skills off the ground in no time.”
