Unisex short sleeve- Image to shirt size comparison chart

Like my previous colour chart forum thread, I’ve tried something else to take the guess work out of designing for Red Bubble t-shirts. This time I’m comparing the unchanging maximum print area (2400px x 3200px @ 200dpi = 30.48cm x 40.64cm or 12inches x 16inches) to the varying sizes of the Unisex shirt sleeve t-shirt, which ranges from S up to XXXL. This should help you envisage how your design will look across the varying shirt sizes. As you can see because of the unchanging print area, things look considerably different when comparing S to XXXL. To RedBubble, I’ve made every effort to get these measurements exact as possible. If you notice any errors, please let me know. Below: The blue area represents the maximum unchanging print area. As a result, the larger the t-shirt the more empty space surrounds the design. Note: The shirt preview we see on Redbubble is based on the Large size.
Below: Here you can see how the same design at the same size looks on the smallest and largest t-shirt. For a larger version of the Blue square chart, you can download from the link below (copy and paste address in your browser)- http://img144.imageshack.us/img144/2117/unisexsizecomparisonzr3.jpg |

Great work Chris a very handy tool… I take it that the preview we see is the one for the small shirt. |

Should I assume that a design for a black shirt would be artwork floating on transparent background, art masked behind in white? I just arrived at the Bubble… |

On dark t-shirts a layer of white ink is printed first before the design. The design you upload should me transparent around the image, like the T-shirt template |

I’m new here so this is my first ‘dumb’ question… If my image has a lot of black with just a bit of color, is there a full layer of white laid down and then black on top of the white? Imagine a photo of the moon and stars against a black sky. |

Me applause also! But Q to RB: Is there a change via computer-database to make automatized workflow for that image to resize to shirt? Then the whole result would be more accurate for both, us and the customer? |

Hi There Chris, Just Checking…what size is the preview for the girly fitted t-shirt based on? - Because The image appears larger on that t-shirt preview than the others. Also, just double checking -is the unisex t-shirt preview still based on size Large? Thanks |

No, but it is planned for the next RB evolution! It is currently ranked #7 in the list of things we want, so go and vote for it, – the more votes it gets, the sooner it happens… |

Yes everyone go and vote on stuff. I posted one asking for more views and sales tracking, especially members vs non-members. Thanks for the comparison chart, I was not sure what the max width looked like on a shirt, and just made everything as wide as possible. |
