Top 5 tips to Design Your Own Custom Hoodies

Almost everyone out there owns a collection of two or more hoodies. Have you ever thought about why? It’s because we get a chance to custom design our own hoodies. Plus, these wardrobe staples never go out of style. And, they give the wearer a laidback, geeky yet sporty look. These apparels are perfect for teams, events, parties, and reunions. If you don’t know how to design your own personalized hoodies, don’t worry.

We have created a list of fun and easy tips that will help you out with it.

  1. Create a Hand-Drawn Design

Don’t you want your custom sweatshirts or hoodies be unique? Of course, you do! And, for that sake, there is no other way than creating a hand-drawn artwork.  

After all, you are going to use your own imagination and bring it on the paper. And, later on, you will transfer that expression on custom hoodies. You also get the freedom to use this artwork anywhere— at the back, on the front, in the center or the left area. Even, you can use different designs in different locations.

It’s up to you to keep the design simple or complex. Once, it goes through the t-shirt printing process you can have it for your family, friends or yourself. Well, the choice is yours.

  1. Consider the Color Selection

We often think that choosing a color palette for custom hoodies is all about gut feelings. While some people are great at picking colors, it may take some time for you to learn. Whether you believe it or not, but you need to understand the color theory for whatever design you create.

So, whether you are a color wizard or not, it is essential that you know the basics of color theory.

When you custom print your hoodie, make sure the images or text used in the design are visible. T-shirt printing companies like Designhill allows you to pick the garment shade along with the colors of numbers and text.

Using complementary colors is always a great idea. However, considering white printing on dark shades and dark print on light colors is helpful too. It makes your custom designs highly visible.

  1. Consider the Dimensions of your Artwork

There are many tools out there that help you design a hoodie in minutes. They also let you resize the artwork and make it smaller, larger or any size in between. Generally, you would want to make sure the image you pick should have clean and crisp lines. You should place the artworks in a way that it is easy for anyone to tell where they actually are, even from a few meters away.

Detailed artworks having smaller dimensions are difficult to read. Likewise, putting very simple images appear larger than the actual size on a hoodie or sweatshirt.

Therefore, you need to check the dimensions of every artwork on the garment. When it comes to custom hoodies, size really matters. So, do a little experiment until you are satisfied with the dimensions.

  1. Choose Unique Typefaces

There is no doubt that spending time to go through a vast library of fonts is monotonous and challenging. But, it is an absolute necessity, because fonts can make or break your design.

Even Steve Jobs didn’t take the importance of typography in design too lightly. When he dropped out of college, he enrolled himself for typography classes. Later on, he credited it with Apple’s success. Even Jobs quoted it— “If I had never dropped in on that single course in college, the Mac would have never had multiple typefaces or proportionally spaced fonts.” This is why we Apple poured many resources and put in place an in-house creative team to create new custom typefaces such as San Francisco that they used to replace their previous typeface— Helvetica Neue.

So, here the only takeaway is that fonts do matter.

Pick a font that would look great in your artwork.

  1. Order in Bulk

Undoubtedly, custom hoodies are fun to wear. And, after a quick turn, it can become our go-to apparel. But, what if it gets damaged? You would really wish to get it back anyhow. It’s evident that hoodies or sweatshirts get lost or damaged from time to time. And, it is indeed a sad situation.

So to overcome such an incident, you should order custom printed hoodies in bulk. You will always have a few extra in hand, whenever you need it!

There are many websites out there that provide t-shirt printing in bulks. If you have always dreamed of having your own personalized hoodies, it’s time to visit those sites.

Choose the site that provides great pricing and printing options. Once finalized, place your order, and you are done!

Final Thoughts

So, when are you going to get your custom hoodies? We hope that the above tips will help you create custom sweatshirts or hoodies that no one but your own.
