this is the first idea we have for a T design, i know it sucks now trust me.
im having trouble with PS &&& having too reinstall it, but i wanna know what you all think.

good concept?
what should be added? (color, brushes, pictures, etc)

hit me.

Isn't that song from this weird Pink/Fergie clone?

All three things are in different styles/fonts. It doesn't really fit together.

no idea who or what your talking about.
but some said it at class so thats where i get it from, thought it was cute.

TAKE THAT BACK! Robyn was firstttttttttt!

The "Konichiwa Bitches" part is okay, but the hand doesn't make any sense.

I agree with the hand. If you mean it to mean peace as in "bye" or whatever then it needs to show the back of the hand. If that makes sense.

Personally I like shirts in color, I don't know if the fonts really go together that well either.

Yeah I really like the text; it's just, the hand looks way out of place.

agreed.

luv the text as well, the hand is gone HA.
thinking of keeping it simple &&& just using the text.

Yeah I agree that's it a bit random & plain. I think it would look cool if you added a red sunburst inside "Konichiwa" just to give it that Japanese feel. A different font for "bitches" would look better & the hand is random. But you're off to a good start.

how would i do the sunburst in 'Konichiwa' & what font do U recomended for 'bitches'

Just make your sunburst (tutorial here), place the text on top of the sunburst layer, do a ctrl+click on the text layer's thumbnail thing, go ctrl+atl+I to select the inverse, & hit delete. It should work. Just play around with the placing of the text to make sure it comes out just right. As for the font for "bitches," I'll do some research & get back to you on that one.

it's a good start :) Always more that you can do with it. Maybe some color?

hmm.
nat i can't seem too get that too work, ha sometimes i amaze myself.
ugh

What do you get when you try doing it?

nothing...the ctrl + alt + L thingy dosnt work for me.


no, i have cs2...sadly...:[

It's ctrl+alt+i lol. Or just go Select>Inverse.

that could be the problem than
xD

:]

If you gonna be selling your shirts make sure none of your images are copyright or whatever. I think you can legally use all font from dafont.com but if you just found that peace hand on photobucket I wouldnt suggest selling a shirt with it on it.

How can you know which ones you can use?
Just the ones that are free?

yes how do we knw this..?

ic.

from what ive seen a majority are freeware?

well thank U sirrr.

Lol yes. Also I forgot to add that after you get the shape, either bring down the text layer's fill to 0% & add a thin black stroke or place the shape layer over the text layer. But I think the lower the fill & add a stroke thing would look better. I'm too lazy to open up Photoshop but I think that's what you should do. If it doesn't come out good, I'll edit & let you know.

yea this ins't working for me saying something about rasterizing.

Rasterize it.

jus dosnt wanna work for me.
:[

Okay this is what i did & it worked.

1. Open up Photoshop & make a new document. Size doesn't really matter.
2. Select your Text Tool (T) & type your text. Make sure it's a solid font.
3. Then just paste this pattern on top of it.
4. Do a ctrl+t while holding shift to make it bigger so that it covers the text completely.
5. Get your Quick Selection Tool (W), select the orange rays, & make them the color you want. I think red would look good.
6. Then do a ctrl+click on the "T" in the text layer. That's the layer's thumbnail.
7. Make sure you're on the sunburst's layer to do the following: Go ctrl+shift+i, hit delete & voilà.


Tell me if it doesn't work. Oh & you can also add a thin (black) stroke to it if it looks plain, which it does, imo.

Technically, it's 'konnichiwa' with a double n, so the misspelling kind of irks me...did the singer do that on purpose or did something get lost when you made the mockup?

works thx nat, aha twas the font i was using xD.
and yea i researched it & i think its the way she does it i really dunno.

i think it would look good with some abstract art on it

how do u mean?
