Midjourney AI T-Shirt Design: A Beginner's Guide

Graphic Designing with AI: In this article we’ll discuss how to design T-shirts in Midjourney AI. Use ChatGPT to generate prompts, titles, fonts, and more. As always, remember that your original artwork needs to be of high quality. Enlarging a low-quality image won’t lead to a good print.

Step-by-step guide on how Midjourney generates t-shirt designs:

• Write a prompt describing the design you want. Use parameters like -ar to specify the aspect ratio, -q 2 for higher quality, and -tile for repeating patterns. For example:
• illustration of a sunset, a car near a beach, summer atmosphere, t-shirt design: -ar 3:5 -q 2
• Midjourney’s AI model will generate images based on its understanding of your prompt and the art style parameters you specify.
• Remove the background using tools like Remove.bg or by including -no background in your Midjourney prompt.
• Upscale the image to a higher resolution suitable for printing (around 2000 px wide) using tools like image upscalers.
• Upload the high-resolution background-removed design to a print-on-demand service like Printful, Spreadshirt, etc.
• On the print-on-demand site, select the t-shirt you want to print the design on.
• Place your order, and the service will print and ship the custom t-shirt to you.

Midjourney AI T-Shirt Design: A Beginner’s Guide

Midjourney generates the initial design concepts and illustrations, but some post-processing steps are needed to prepare the images for high-quality printing on t-shirts. By upscaling the resolution, you can remove backgrounds from your image.

You can use AI-based methods to upscale an image. These methods typically provide better results compared to traditional upscaling techniques, as they use deep learning algorithms to predict and generate additional details based on the existing pixel data.

If you want to keep the text editable in Photoshop, you can put the text layer below the image in the layer stack and then Alt+click to clip the image to the text.

Vectorizing has a different aesthetic than upscaling. And for these sorts of graphics, I prefer to vectorize. But either option works.

Thanks.
