who will design me a t-shirt?

October 31, 2012 9:05 AM

I want to buy a shirt with a slogan on it, but no shirt with that slogan exists. Thus, I wish to cause its existence. Because my skills of an artist are meager, I don't want to do this myself on cafepress/spreadshirt/etc. Thus, I wish to ask YOU, metafilter, these questions: (a) where can I go or whom can I ask for my t-shirt-slogan-designing needs? (b) how much is this sort of thing likely to cost? (If too much, I'll just pass.)

I can't draw anything other than a pretty decent monkey head. I wanted a shirt with a slogan and some clipart and used customink.com. It was dead easy, and relatively cheap ($25 or so all in) for a one-off shirt. They have "artist-designed templates" too that make it a little fancier looking than just text-on-a-shirt.

Apologies if this solution is within your "cafepress/spreadshirt/etc." group. But maybe it's worth a shot; the whole point of the site is to make the design part of it user friendly.

I've had good experiences with Neighborhoodies, and they have a variety of fonts/placement options as well as some basic graphics.

If you want anything more complex or customized, I bet you could find someone willing to do it on MeFi Jobs.
