Want to raise awareness about your advocacy?

Wear it.

That’s right, wear your advocacy.

T-shirts are not just the go-to apparel for a casual day. It is able to express and reflect your interests, beliefs, and values.

T-shirt activism or the spreading of advocacy using shirts has gathered momentum in the last couple of years. Various organizations and individuals have discovered the creativity, subtlety, ease, and wide reach of the use of shirts when it comes to running campaigns, raising awareness, and gathering support for different causes.

How exactly does a shirt manage to help in one’s advocacy initiatives? 1. It sends the message even without saying a word

1. It sends the message even without saying a word

If you want to send a message quickly and effectively, images are the way to go. Often, images evoke emotion more than words can. With an eye-catching and emotion-evoking image that best captures your advocacy, you can raise awareness and gather the support that you need. All it takes is the right t-shirt design, and you will surely be able to spread the word.

2. It allows you to express unity and solidarity

Something as simple as a shirt can be a symbol of your representation and identification with the minority. Let it be your way of saying that you are in solidarity with the marginalized and oppressed of our time.

3. It piques interest and serves as a subtle conversation starter

Imagine running into an old time friend, or attending a social gathering wearing a shirt with a statement like this:

Questions are bound to be asked, conversations are bound to be made about your advocacy. Of course it matters that this statement shirt tries to be humorous. This is especially helpful if you are someone who is deeply passionate about your advocacy. Humor can be a good way to have people listen to you more.

4. A picture paints a thousand words

Gone are the days of brochures and flyers. With the advent of social media, people have become intolerant of lengthy text; instead, they have become voracious consumers of images. Eye-catching images are suddenly evocative, and one-word statements are suddenly appealing and full of impact.

5. It confronts without being confrontational

Let’s face it – we are faced with various societal issues today. Not many people however, are comfortable to talk about them. Let your shirt be your way of participating in the dialogue – subtly, yet strongly. Let the subtlety of your shirt be a strong expression of your advocacy, belief, and values.

6. It can empower to take action

The images and words on a shirt need not only inform and educate, but it can also invite a person to a response. All you have to do is provide a “call to action”, and you are not only making the other person aware of your advocacy, but also inviting him/her to participate and take action about the matter.

Convinced yet that shirts are the fastest and most creative way of raising awareness and gathering support for your cause? Send us a message, and allow us to share and take part in your advocacy. At Ellison Enterprises, you can be sure to get high quality shirt printing at low, affordable rates and prices.

Ever heard of the phrase, “You are what you wear”?

There’s much truth to this than many people realize.

We live in a time where authenticity, self-expression, and individuality are huge priorities. This is why personalized shirts have always been a big thing. People want to wear something that reflects their unique selves.

If you’re thinking of creating your own personalized shirt read on. We’ve put together some pro design tips from the best shirt designers.

1. Concept

Concept is crucial and foundational to your design. It defines the kind of impact that your shirt will have. It provides the form and structure, as well as the theme and overall vibe of your design. To help you come up with your design concept, ask yourself questions like: Who are you? What image or symbol best describes you? How do you want to communicate your self? Is it through humor? Through an abstract, artistic piece?

2. Composition

Composition is the positioning of your design elements. Make sure that you arrange every element intentionally, so that the overall image is not too crowded or not too loosely spaced. Balance is key.

Order and sequence also matter, most especially if you’re dealing with text. Make sure that your text and other design elements interact effectively and coherently.

3. Resolution

If you’re planning to incorporate an image into your design, resolution can make or break your shirt! Pixelized images will definitely ruin your shirt, no matter how elegant the design is or how excellent the printing quality is.

Some t-shirt companies are not too particular about the file format of your image, but they do require a high resolution image. Wondering what resolution goes best for your design? Find out from a shirt supplier here.

4. Color Scheme

When it comes to color, take note that you have to pay attention to two things: the actual color scheme of your design, and the color of the shirt that the design will best go with it. Plus, did you know that there’s such thing as a psychology of colors? There certain color combinations that better convey a message, or provide a particular effect towards people.

5. Font

Two things about font: readability and variation. The words in your design must not only be visually appealing, but also be readable at first glance. If another person takes more than 0.5 seconds to read the text on your shirt, you’re most likely going to have to change the font.

Here’s a pro tip: Variation is key. If you have a pure text image design, mix and match about 2-3 different fonts and sizes.

See the difference?

6. Size and Placement

Size and placement go together all the time. A small image on a plain shirt can be placed on either the right or left side of the chest, and a big image is typically placed at the center, by the chest area. Here’s a simple but crucial tip: never go for a belly print!

Remember that the design is only half the work. The design still needs to be executed – in other words, it needs to get printed. In Manila, Ellison Enterprises is one of the leading shirt printing companies that provide high-quality silkscreen print, even embroidery.
