T-shirt Design: Help please!
Hey guys, I wanted to get a t-shirt like this one http://www.zazzle.com/physics_its_the_s ... 5761800486 but I wanted to modify it a bit, the only problem is I want to add the stickman and that arrow pointing down, is there a way to get the picture? or can one of you make a cool falling stickman for me? like that one?
The thing is I don't want to buy that shirt because I want to have a modified version of it but I can't just press right click and save it, besides, If I take a screenshot I think the picture will be way too small.
Any recommendations?

If he made it in Illustrator he can easily resize it and send you a bigger copy, without any loss in quality.

I guess I could remake it bigger if that isn't large enough ...
I made it in gimp so its not a vector image ... I just used the path tool for most of it ...
Re: T-shirt Design: Help please!
How big do you need it, cachiporrin?

Re: T-shirt Design: Help please!
well, ...hmm does T-shirt size tell you anything? I really don't know an exact number.
I want it to look like this one http://www.zazzle.com/physics_its_the_s ... 5761800486

So about 25x30cm? (Width x Height)
According to Photoshop, that is 709x850 pixels.
I think you'll do just fine with the image that Assaultman67 provided.

Zazzle example images at http://www.zazzle.com/mk/custom/guidefiles give the example horizontal t-shirt image size as 2100 x 1800 pixels, which is 14 by 12 inches when printed at 150 DPI.
That doesn't necessarily mean that it won't look good. Since it's a monochromatic image, if it's scaled up it's only apparent on the edges, which will appear aliased, but the scaling method might be enough to minimize that. However, I'm not sure if you can choose to scale it up in the printing place, or if that should be done before sending the image for them.
Also, it might be better to make sure that the DPI of the image is set at 150. I don't know how the printing system handles it, but in the worst case it scales the image resolution too when it changes the DPI.
If you didn't get that, printing a picture takes two values, actually. You need the pixel aspect ratio, AND the DPI size. A 1200x1200 pixel image will be 12x12 inches on DPI 100, 4x4 inches on DPI 300 and so on. If the DPI is too low, the image will be grainy. Basically a print at 72 DPI is somewhat grainy but works fine for text, DPI at 300 works fine for images you print yourself, but magazines and other professional prints come in at much higher. DPI doesn't affect the image at all, just how printers print it.
