Tips
- 1Always consider the final print method: For screen printing, simple colors and clear separations work best. For direct-to-garment (DTG), more complex gradients and details are possible. Tailor your 'VISUAL STYLE' and 'COLOR' parameters accordingly.
- 2Utilize negative space: A good t-shirt design often uses the shirt's color as part of the design. Prompt for 'minimalist', 'isolated subject', or 'line art on a plain background' to encourage designs with effective negative space.
- 3Test different aspect ratios: While 7:4 and 3:2 are common, experiment with other ratios like 1:1 for square chest prints or 2:3 for more vertical, abstract designs to see what best fits your vision.
- 4Refine with remixing: If your initial output isn't quite right, use Midjourney's remix feature to iterate on specific elements. For example, keep the 'SUBJECT(S)' but change the 'VISUAL STYLE' or 'COLOR' to explore variations.
- 5Add 'print-on-demand' or 'apparel graphic' to your 'FORMAT' or 'TAGS' to help Midjourney understand the intended use case, encouraging designs optimized for commercial printing.
