I would like learn to make designs for shirts.

Question

I need help learning how to do heat press (I think that’s how its call) I’ve heard adobe is a place you can create designs. Im interested in print designs to heat transfer to shirts or cups/mugs. Can you help with that? Or guide me to the correct direction?

Answer 1

If you are looking to create designs meant to be heat-pressed on shirts, then you should create your designs using Adobe Illustrator, since the designs there will be "vector based"/"smart images". If you are however planning to create shirts with complex real life sceneries on them, then Photoshop will be your best bet, however heat-pressed shirts of pixel based designs will require special machinery and the image will be in square or rectangular form.
