cool, gotta check that one out
( )bodhi March 11th
I think that the colors are too dull.
( )What do you think?
lawrence77 March 11th
yeah bodhi, its dull
Mike March 11th
This design is great because the inks needed to produce a 4-color process print on a tshirt are never bright!. bright colors are almost impossible without adding additional spot colors
Simona March 11th
I like them,it has a great pastel look.
insic March 11th

Justin St. Germain March 11th
looks like i need to renew my account and get some more plus tuts downloaded. good stuff.
( )Duffy March 11th
Maybe he is colorblind
Just kidding, I love his tutorials. They’re all great stuff – despite the color backlash.
( )djierod March 11th
This is nice one. That’s why I love being a plus member:D
( )TomH March 11th
I’m sure it’s a good tutorial, but me being someone with fashion sense, I really would not buy that. Ever. I’d rather die.
( )Bill March 11th
I second, wouldn’t be caught dead wearing that.
( )Dullface March 11th
You’d rather die than buy a shirt? You either have terribly little to loose, or you’re waaaay too up tight with fashion.
( )TomH March 12th
I’m guessing that you would go out of the door in a bin-liner if it kept you warm…
Loveleen March 11th
its different but I prefer more vibrant colors for t-shirts…
( )Mark Mayers March 11th
Looks like a great tutorial Alex,
There’s nothing to stop the designer asking his printer to use fluorescent versions of the cyan, magenta and yellow inks if you wanted a more vibrant effect – it’s all down to taste!
( )Alex Beltechi March 12th
Thanks Mark. That’s a good tip I haven’t thought about, also mainly because I wanted it to have a soft feel, or as everyone else puts it, “dull”.
Simona March 12th
very true, Mark, it’s all down to taste
. Great job Alex.
Alex Beltechi March 12th
Thanks
RJ March 11th

Nice work

This would never fly on a real screen. The dot pattern is entirely too small with little to no resolution to the actual halftone itself. Before converting the content with the halftone filter, make sure your image resolution is at least 1200 dpi. Otherwise, your printer will call you within moments of it hitting their laser printer, complaining that you have no clue what you’re doing.
( )Dave September 15th
Completely and totally out of touch with any for of apparel imprinting other then sublimation…..
( )the answer October 23rd
I agree with Dave. This is completely wrong and woudl never fly. Hint #1, you should be using your channels palette not layers. Stick to the web kids
