My Apparel Designer is Finished!
Finally – my apparel designer is done! It is fully functional now that all the fonts have been fixed, and it’s ready to go. I’m open to ideas about how to dress the site a little better, but I’m hoping that most people are only interested in designing and purchasing their product. That being said, here’s a repeat of some information about the designer.
One of the most satisfying things for me as someone who creates graphics, is to see those graphics on a commercial product. Normally the cost of doing that is too much for those of us that are not in the printing industry, not any more. I’ve developed an online designer tool to allows you to create your own products and purchase them.
Exercise your creativity with my online apparel designer. Use vectors from the clip art gallery, add text and create away to your hearts content. You don’t need to have image editing software or skill, nor do you need to have an online store. Just create your designs and purchase them online, all in a within this website. It’s quick, it’s simple – instant gratification! http://www.customizemydesigns.com/
The designer interface is intuitive and easy to use. You can see from the picture below that you can:
- Choose a product
- Add clip art
- Add text
If you want just one t-shirt, or just one product, that’s okay. There is no minimum (or maximum) limit. Scroll down the product list and you’ll see some novelty items too! There’s underwear, hats, bags, mugs, aprons, teddy bears and more.
Once you are done designing and your masterpiece is ready, click “ADD TO CART” and a button will appear on the bottom right saying “PURCHASE NOW”. This will take you to a cart where you can change or delete the order. Once satisfied you click on “PROCESS TO PURCHASE” and your design will be uploaded to Cafepress and you will see the Cafepress cart. This is a last sanity check to make sure you have the correct design, number of items purchased and size set.
At all times during the purchasing process you can abort. The last thing I want is people feeling like they are press ganged into purchasing, which is why I left in a few steps to check, and double check.
All transactions and printing is done through Cafepress. They are an excellent source for fulfillment and they don’t charge to use their services. Obviously they get a cut of the profits from printing. So, why not go on over the http://www.customizemydesigns.com and have some creative fun?
Below are some products with one of my designs on them. This design matches the images I have used on the front page here, and in this post. It goes to show just how create you can get!

DesignArt – The Color of Diverse Design
Design, art, graphics – things I could not do until computers came along. Armed with a computer the sky is the limit for me. And having a talent for the creative, and the intellect for technology (left and right brained), the sky is the limit. There is so much opportunity to venture into different realms of design using technology that I know I’ve just scratched the surface – but look how far I have come already!
Creativity and the product of artful design. You’ve seen some of my designs on pages on this web, and I’m going to post them again – just in case you missed them the first time around!
I’m not limited to just these styles and I am touting my services here. I can create and / or customize designs or your choosing. You can purchase my designs from the product page (see the link over there on the right?), ok – here’s the link, to make it easy – or you can request or customize my designs that you have seen on my other sites. Here’s my Cafepress store so you can see more examples of what I can create, and bear in mind that I design websites too.
http://www.cafepress.com/steveshead – Have fun with it and, more to the point, purchase something!
Here’s another plug – all the graphics that I create are available for sale or customization. Email me steve@steve-shead.com with your requirements and contact details and we’ll make it happen.
Subverted Tees:
Here’s three designs I created on the flight back from Hawaii earlier this year. They are all based on a tattoo style – the originals are in Illustrator format, and the PNG’s I use for printing are 6000 x 6000 pixels @ 200 dpi.

Evil Clown:
I’m not sure what was going through my mind when I created these, but they seem to sell well on apparel! I started with black and white outlines for each of these, and worked in layers to add color – then added the extra ‘stuff’ to form the final images.

Skulls:
Here is a selection of skull designs that I have created. I love the grunge look with skulls and other abstract design elements mixed in. The eclectic mix of styles in these three make for diversely different styles, but all have their own impact.

Abstract Color:
These are all very colorful images so classifying them isn’t so easy. What I really like is the diversity of them all. A mixture of styles within each image and that’s why I have put them together – for now.
