How to Pick a Design on a Custom T-Shirt

GRACE FRAGA: What's tip number one? CHANTELLE TIBBS: Okay. Well, you know what? The first thing is assessing your design. One of the tips I have is assessing your design and finding mediums or other things that you can use that would compliment the design. Like with Redistribute, I decided to use patches. And for a design that's this grassroots, it's obviously trying to make a political statement to a certain degree, it matches the shirt, it matches--obviously, I'm not going to say redistribute in this very minimalist way and then have this glitter to it, this sort of flashy kind of glitter to it. It doesn't really make any sense. So, think about what you're doing. If I had a big stone or leaf in the middle of the--you know what I'm talking about, pot and stuff like that, I'm not going to paint the stone or leaf pink and have like little lace coming out. It doesn't make any sense. GRACE FRAGA: Exactly. CHANTELLE TIBBS: Do you know what I mean? Think about your design. Think about the way that it could best be utilized and all that and then go for it. So, that's tip number one. Make sure your mediums match your design and that your design altogether makes sense 'cause you could ruin and destroy a perfectly good design. GRACE FRAGA: So, tip number one, make sense.
