If you are a beginner or an intermediate artist and want to know how to do art for t-shirts and have the tools and knowledge that you will help guide you, then The Art of T-Shirt Color Separation is the best and least expensive way to start.
Photoshop is a fantastic program for designing art for T-Shirts. It is also a great tool to build Color Separations in Channels to make that design a great image on a T-Shirt. This book teaches how to accomplish that goal in simple and easy step-by-step exercises, using different methods to make these separations come back together on the press to duplicate the design on the computer.
Discover How To:
• Separate colors for printing on black shirts
• Cross between RGB and CMYK channels
• Simulated and 4 color process
• Splitting channels to place separately into a vector program
• Outputting channels as an EPS composite from a vector program
• Create halftones without a rip software program
• Understanding the characteristics of individual channels
• The tools, palettes, hot keys and much more
No DVD! FULL Photoshop files are downloaded from the cloud at the click of a mouse as you need them for each exercise.

Hey Mitch
ReplyDeleteI might have missed it somewhere, but I didn't see how many pages this book is...just curious =)
I'll be purchasing it from you in about a month or so once I get some finances straight =)
Best,

Hey Jason,
ReplyDeleteTake your time. . . I took me a year to write 150 pages of text and illustrations. I have a total of 9 different exercises that I separated to illustrate demos for the book. There was always something that I would forget, so I would go back and separate it again to pick up the segments I missed the first time.
Thanks for the interest in the book, Jason. When you're ready, I will have one waiting for you!
Best Regards,
Different
Read the book from front to back last night. Although I have many years of color separating both vector and raster images for t-shirts, Mitch's book A Guide To The Art of T-Shirt Color Separation is an asset every artist & screen print shop should have on hand. Lots of great info which will help both the novice and seasoned separators.
ReplyDeleteGreat Book Mitch

Thank you for the great write-up, Richard. That really means a lot coming from a veteran like yourself, because your opinion of the book has a lot of bearing on another who is new to this area of art. Thanks again for your truly honest opinion!
DeleteIt would be awesome if there was a class you offered That could be done online. I'm not new to photo shop but there are things in the book that I would like to know more about. Any consideration on doing some kind of online course??
ReplyDeleteIs there any further reading you would recommend on this?
