Plants
Who among us doesn’t love contact with nature. Plant motifs are a trend that will draw special attention in designs. Designs with plants can be realistic, with natural elements and simple lines, or they can be fun illustrations in bright cheerful colors.
Books
Books bind our community together in more ways than we think. Popularized by local bookstores across the country, this design trend continues to support these businesses through the ups and downs they may experience. Readers around the world are creating book-based campaigns, whether it’s to raise money for their favorite bookstore or simply to create a community or book lovers. Whether the main theme of your project is books or you use them as part of a structure, they can give your T-shirt great context. This is also a great way to subtly add text to your design.
Tattoos
You don’t have to get a lifelong tattoo if you can put one on your T-shirt instead! Traditional tattoos are made up of bold lines and bright colors, and can incorporate any elements that interest you. This timeless and beautiful style is sure to catch the attention of your community.
Strong text messages
Sometimes your shirt just needs to say what it needs to say, boldly and clearly. Creating a shirt with a word or phrase that conveys your point of view can sometimes be all you need on your garment. This approach is especially effective if your garment promotes a cause, non-profit organization or social movement.
Large prints
We’re all familiar with the delicate and minimalist design trend, but this year, turn it around! Make your design take up the entire printable area so everyone can see the fun design on your apparel.
Multi-colored words
Add a bit of energy to any text-based design by creating different letter colors. The color palette you choose for the letters will set the mood of the shirt. Keep it simple with a few colors in your palette, or go all out and make each letter a different color!
One-color designs
When designing your shirt, you may be wondering how it will fit into your closet. With a white or one-color shirt, your merchandise will match any everyday cut. In addition, keeping a one-color design allows you to really make your line stand out. The most popular trend this year was black prints on black shirts.
Clean and simple text messages
Complete minimalism. T-shirts in a simple cut will go best with such designs. Everything together will be clear and easy to read.
Illustrated characters
Since digital drawings are becoming increasingly popular, these illustrative portraits have become an ideal design idea. They bring the perfect amount of personalization and fun to your T-shirt.
Animal portraits
They continue to be a popular design choice and a major trend in custom apparel. We love this design trend because of its versatility. You can put your pet on a T-shirt using a simple drawing that depicts its body and a few facial features, or you can get very detailed to match its unique personality.
