    Allow myself to... introduce myself.

    Design Design, sign sign everywhere a sign - well let me just say that for 3 months I had to learn the basics of Adobe Illustrator so that I had the hang of simple vector based graphics and some such - I worked at a silkscreen design shirt printing company and before I left my job was separations output - and simple designs.

    So I am not someone who could do any major fancy work via Vector and PS - however I do know how a shirt design works, I know how it should be separated (inks ma boy[or lass] inks) If you try to have a graphic with just too many colors it will be impossible to mass print using the cheaper silk screening process - most automatic presses support 8-12 colors, however for small orders they use what are called manual presses - normally 4-6 colors. My job was to make sure the film output matched the number of available screens, and through that I learned my skills with the lovely expensive program.

    So - simple designs (as in color wise) are what I can produce, make, what have you. Of course I would not expect to be paid if my design was nowhere near what you wanted - however do not waste my time. This is exclusively for shirts and designs to go on them. if you have a logo already - but do not have it vectored and able to be made larger or smaller and it is not a super complex multi-colored multi-fonted design of doom I could possibly convert that to a vector file as well by redrawing it by hand. If you need seps done, I can do that as well.

    My rates are based on how much work involved it is and how much time I spend on the project - and I accept payment only after I finish and you are shown a watermarked preview - because I know how some people are.

    • I can create vector graphics
    • I can make logos and designs if needed for shirts
    • I can convert simple logos that are non-vector to vector by hand drawing them (if they are not multicolored and are simple)
    • I can do seperations on files that are already vectored
    • I can do seperation on non-vector conversions to vector
    • I can take over the world

    Should you wish to see a sample of what I can do please feel free to PM me. I can do transparencies - but I don't like them. They're fickle and sometimes when you want them printed they never look like the outputted design no matter how high of a mesh you use and how many adjustments you make (meshes are how big the dots are basically - 110 mesh is low detail, cheap to use while 400 mesh are high detail fine used for either transparencies or for light applications of ink - and there are even higher [and more expensive] meshes than that).

    Danke
