Distressed design

I have a design I want to prepare for screen printing and want to add the distressed look to the design. How do I add this to the image and it cuts out crinkles in the design to let the tee shirt show through. I am in need of guidance.

Thanks

  • The easiest way is just to add a distressed filter overlay.

    You can make your own or use some pre-made ones that are available.

    If you browse around Tom's site at advancedartist.com, he's got some step by step tutorials for more complicated stuff.

    There's also some free distressed overlays/simple instructions at screenprinters.net.

    Depending on the look you want it can be as easy as just laying the bitmap over your design...........or you can get more involved as Tom explains.

    Here's a sample, one click simple one, that I did for a beach tournament a few years ago.
