23 / T-shirt & Merchandise Design
A brand people can wear.
We design merchandise with the physical object in mind: the print area, material, production method and the way the artwork feels when it is worn.

A closer look at the decisions, working details and review standards behind your project.
Make the artwork belong to the object
We consider the identity, audience and physical product before deciding placement or scale. A strong merchandise design uses the shape and material of the item rather than treating it as a blank rectangle for a logo.
Prepare for the chosen production method
Screen printing, embroidery and other methods have different constraints. We align the artwork with the supplier’s specifications and review colour, detail and positioning before providing the agreed production files.
WHAT WE REVIEW TOGETHER

T-shirt & Merchandise Design
with a clear next step.
Choose the expression
We agree the priorities using your brief and source material. For this project, the first decision is how to choose the expression.
Design for the surface
You review a concrete direction before we move into final production. Together, we design for the surface.
Prepare the print
The final stage is to prepare the print, resolve the agreed feedback and prepare the handover.
Before
we begin.
Do you supply the garments?
This service covers artwork. Production is handled by your supplier unless a separate arrangement is agreed.
How are scope, timing and revisions agreed?
We review your t-shirt & merchandise design brief and source material first. The proposal sets out deliverables, milestones and revision stages before work begins.
Which files will I receive?
The proposal specifies final export formats, dimensions and any editable source files. Print artwork follows the agreed supplier specifications; digital versions are prepared for their intended placements. Licensed fonts and third-party assets are identified where relevant.
How are feedback and approvals handled?
We agree the direction and review stages before production. Consolidated feedback at each stage keeps decisions clear; final artwork is released after the approved copy, dimensions and requested variations have been checked.
