Tips For Designing

Ready to get started? Avoid getting pinched this year with these helpful steps for designing your new t-shirts.

1. Choose your design: When it comes to St. Patrick’s Day, the possibilities for custom t-shirt designs are endless. Before you begin, consider popular design elements like shamrocks, leprechauns, and Irish sayings like “Kiss me, I’m Irish.” Pinterest is a great source of ideas. You can draw inspiration from our own St. Patricks Day Pinterest board. If you’re looking for something more unique, try incorporating your own custom design or logo. If you need design support, our team is here to help.
2. Select your t-shirt style: Custom t-shirts are available in a variety of styles, from classic crewnecks to fitted tees and everything in between. Choose a style that fits your personality and comfort level, just make sure it’s green! When it comes to selecting the right product, we give you a few options. You can choose your product before designing by navigating to our customizable products page and selecting the product of your choice. Our product pages all contain a link to load the product into our Design Studio. Alternatively, you can head directly to the Design Studio and select the “Change Shirt” button to alternate to a different product or color. Finally, if you are having our team create a design for you, tell us what product you prefer, or change it on your own in the Design Studio once we return a link to your new custom artwork. If you are not certain which t-shirt best fits your needs, our team will be happy to guide you. Just ask!
3. Pick your color: Green is, of course, the go-to color for St. Patrick’s Day, but don’t be afraid to mix it up with different shades. The Hanes Authentic T-Shirt comes in 42 colors, with 4 green shades including Fatigue, Green, Kelly Green, Lime, and Safety Green! While Kelly green is very popular for St. Patrick’s Day, you will have no challenge finding a shade that suits you best. Keep in mind that your artwork colors can vary as well. A big advantage to our no minimum digitally printed t-shirts is that you can print an unlimited number of colors. Go wild with a lucky rainbow if you want!
4. Add text or other graphics: When you have your design idea ready, and the right product in mind, it’s now time to create your custom t-shirt! You can search for relevant design elements in our Design Studio. Using keywords like “Irish”, “clover”, and “lucky” you can view hundreds of usable art files for your design. Custom text or graphics can add an extra personal touch to your St. Patrick’s Day t-shirt. Whether you want to add your name, a funny saying, or a nod to your favorite Irish pub, there are plenty of ways to make your shirt one-of-a-kind. You can choose your own font by selecting “Add Words” in the Design Studio. From the drop-down, you can choose from dozens of unique styles.
