Design Guidelines

DUE TO COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT AT NO TIME MAY AN ARTIST SUBMIT A DESIGN FEATURING A FAMOUS PERSONS IMAGE OR LIKENESS TO ANY TATSHIRTS.COM CONTEST. IT WILL BE REJECTED.

YOU MAY HOWEVER UPLOAD A DESIGN FEATURING A FAMOUS PERSONS IMAGE OR LIKENESS TO YOUR PROFILE PAGE.

AS MUCH AS IT IS AN HONOR, WE CAN NOT ACCEPT ANY DESIGNS WITH A TATSHIRTS.COM LOGO. THANK YOU FOR THINKING OF US THOUGH!

Due to the printing process for the t - shirts, most images will have to be touched up using some sort of computer program, IE, photoshop, adobe illustrator.

The design itself will not be altered in anyway shape or form, if anything the lines will be strengthened and the colors solidified.

Our suggestions:

   1. You should scan your original image at AT LEAST 300 dpi.
   2. The smaller your original image the greater the dpi should be set.
   3. Save it twice, once as a TIFF and one as a JPEG. The TIFF will be the one you send to us if your design wins, the JPEG is the one that you submit to tatshirts.com.
   4. If you are using a photo enhancing program, save your working files as a TIFF and DO NOT flatten any layers.

Other wise see below please

    * Designs should be in .jpg format and MUST BE no larger than 500px X 538px and 500kB.
    * You may view the availabe shirt colors for both men's and ladies' style shirts.
    * Copy and Paste your desired shirt color into your graphics program and include the color as the background of your design.
    * If you do not select a t-shirt color, tatshirts.com reserves the right to choose, at their will, the color of the t-shirt without your consent.
