When you’re designing your own custom t-shirts, you’ll find that the less colours you put into the screen print, the lower your cost. But how do you design a custom tee with one colour that doesn’t look too basic? We’re gonna look at a few awesome one colour tees and highlight the lessons you can learn from them:
NO FUN – Use a Classic Style with One Colour T-Shirts
At NO FUN PRESS, they make one colour screen prints look great. Embracing the limitation of a single colour print means you’ll make a simple and memorable design. Using a simple hand-drawn style, this custom t-shirt looks unique and is cheaper than an über colourful printed tee.
SALTWATER COLLECTIVE – Embrace Simplicity in One Colour T-Shirts
Check out Saltwater Collective if you wanna see a ton of stunning simple screen prints. Using starkly contrasting colours, Saltwater makes apparel that stands out and promotes a powerful environmental message (all made in Canada!). If you’re designing custom t-shirts for a cause, try creating a simple design that makes your voice loud and clear.
NOIR ET NOIR – Go Dark
Noir et Noir was created by a graphic designer here at Artik. He used his knowledge of screen printing and heat presses to create a minimalist brand. With subtle designs, Noir et Noir proves that less is more in creating memorable custom t-shirts here in Canada.
MARY YOUNG – Go colourful!
Check out the custom printed t-shirts made by Mary Young. Though they’re limited to one or two colour screen prints, you’d never think it! Starting with a colourful pink tee and adding red lettering in a ton of fonts, this custom t-shirt looks more colourful than most one colour printed t-shirts. Consider bright colours and unique designs in your custom t-shirt design.
KOWAI GIRLS – Go big
Kowai Girls make apparel that stands out without being super colourful. They do it by making huge screen prints that go across the front, back and sleeves of their custom t-shirts. When you’re designing your own custom tees, explore the whole canvas. Don’t feel limited to screen printing your design on the front chest of your t-shirt when there’s so much fabric to print on!
