lol....can you tell I'm a noob at ordering people around? Jos, you fail as
a promo leader for tainting me with your lovey dovey crap instead of showin=
g
me how to produce results as Eugene suggests!
Here are the guidelines! dooooooooo eeeeeeeet! :D
http://www.spreadshirt.com/help-C1328/categoryId/7/articleId/33 (vector i=
s
obviously preferable for quality reasons)
As a test to play with the functionality on the vector designs I created a
test shirt for now based on your front design. You can have a look at
http://gearwear.spreadshirt.com. Looks like you don't have to worry about
keeping different versions of the coloring of the logos around as
Spreadshirt lets you do that on the fly when designing. Unfortunately a
person buying a shirt cannot adjust the logo color themselves, only the
color of the shirt itself. And another issue is people can't change the
shirt type on their own either so it looks like I might have to make both a
male and female version of the shirts so the ladies can buy things in
women's sizes.
