Artwork & Graphic Design Services

At Shirt Tales, great custom apparel starts with great artwork & graphic design. Whether you have a rough idea, a finished logo, or no artwork at all, our team can bring your vision to life with professional graphic design tailored for print, embroidery, and promotional products.

We specialize in creating bold, clean, and print-ready artwork that looks great on everything from t-shirts and hoodies to hats, banners, and more. Our goal is simple: make your design stand out and translate perfectly onto the products you choose.

Custom Artwork Made Easy

Not a designer? No problem. Many of our customers come to us with just an idea—and that’s all we need to get started. We’ll work with you to develop a design that fits your brand, event, or message.

Whether you need:

  • School spirit wear designs
  • Team logos and graphics
  • Business branding and apparel
  • Event shirts or promotional items

We’ll create artwork that is both visually strong and production-ready.

From Concept to Final Design

Our design process is simple and collaborative:

  1. Share your idea, logo, or inspiration
  2. We create a custom design or refine your artwork
  3. You review and request any changes
  4. Approve your final proof before production

We make sure you’re confident in the design before anything goes to print.

Designed for Print & Embroidery

Designing for apparel is different than designing for screens. Our team understands the technical side of decorating, so your artwork is optimized for the method you choose.

We design specifically for:

  • Screen Printing
  • Embroidery
  • Direct-to-Garment (DTG)
  • Direct-to-Film (DTF)
  • Vinyl and specialty applications

That means clean lines, proper color separation, and designs that hold up on real garments—not just on a computer screen.

Artwork Cleanup & Redraws

Already have a logo or design? We can improve it.

We frequently help customers:

  • Clean up low-resolution images
  • Convert artwork to vector format
  • Adjust colors for printing
  • Simplify designs for embroidery

Even if your file isn’t perfect, we can get it where it needs to be.

Built for Your Brand

Every design we create is tailored to your audience and purpose. Whether you’re outfitting a business team, launching a fundraiser, or creating spirit wear, we focus on designs that people actually want to wear.
