One thing that comes in handy when designing shirts for Shirt.Woot or Shirt Fight or any number of the shirt competition sites is having good blank T-shirt templates to display your design on.
A good T-shirt template will give you a really good feel of what your design might actually look like on cotton and seeing it on a shirt helps frame and position a design, and usually gives you ideas on how to improve it or what direction to take it.
When I'm designing a shirt I'll take it over and try it on a blank tee several times during the design process, fiddling around with positioning and shirt colors.
Anyway, I've attached three of my favorite blank tee templates for you to download below. I'm sorry but I can't remember a couple of the original creators for these templates (they're not mine) but if you do, email me and I'll be sure to add a proper credit.
I have no idea where I got this one from. Thanks to the tip from Seth this mockup is from by Priscilla Wilson.

I am pretty sure this is Travis Gentry's James Cho's template he created for his Shirt.Woot entries

This is a great template from Shirt Fight that includes all the American Apparel colors and a sweet shirt mask.

My name is Kris Robinson, this is where I blog about art, computers, illustration, design, work, life and other stuff... basically anything that pops into my head. I'm rebuilding the site and it's in a bit of a beta stage, but I wanted to keep posting stuff to it, so forgive me for the unfinished look.

4 months agoI believe the Woot template was made by a wooter name James Cho. That first template looks nice as well. Yoink! I just nabbed it! Thanks for posting!

4 months agoI like the shirt fight print size reference as well, it's not useful for everyone, but I was printing a sample for a client and it was a great way to show how big it looks on the shirt and measure dimensions without pulling out a shirt and a ruler.
