It's what I do as a job basically. I teach in the Diploma of Interactive Digital Media at Southbank Institute of Technology. I use wide range of products, but for the t-shirts I have used Adobe Illustrator & Photoshop. Designing the website and artwork for the shirts is something I enjoy doing. I have a creative side and always looking at new things to design and create eg photography, paintings etc. Basically Chris you need to have knowledge of the software packages (which can take sometime) and an understanding in basic digital principles e.g. file formats & resolutions. Having creative ability also is a big help . Gerard

Sounds great. All we need now is some pictures. You could be the model and your wife take the pictures and post them here so we can see how they look . Regards, Chris ;D

Thanks Jeff.
I am developing a round Windsock sticker (like the mug) and also a standard bumper sticker. How much was the postage for the mug? From memory the postage for the shirt was $8.95 US.
Cheers,
Gerard

Cheers, Gerard The postage on the shirt was acceptable however the mug postage IIRC was around the $18.00usd mark about the price of a mug itself! So I thought a sticker on a mug was a better option. cheers jeff

$18 is a bit steep. I just uploaded the round windsock stickers.
Cheers,

Yep, I was thinking of emailing you about it actually.
I can create a design and place a link off the Windsock website. I can do up a bumper sticker design as well if you wish. Have you have any pictures of Manilla or gliding shots that could help me in the creative process?
Cheers,
Gerard

This is what I've put together. I found a landscape image of Mt Borah and used it in the design. If you like the design Steve I'll link it to the site. Gerard Front Back Close up of front graphic Close up of back graphic

Excellent , It looks great stickers and whatever your think like hat or something I think the simple designs are the best and the colour choice to me anyway is perfect . let me know the link so I can put it front page of the manilla thread and the West Sydney Slope Soarers hompage as well . Thanks SteveW

Done Steve, go to: www.windsock.net.au/manilla.htmlI can make other items if you want, but I thought what I've created is a good start. Can I suggest that you get a shirt and stickers ordered to make sure your happy with the results. I have already ordered one of my other designs and I was pleased with the quality. Cheers, Gerard
