Birth of a Design : Part 3 - Color Separation

[MCWHAMMER]

I had no idea this much went into color separation. Very interesting video. I appreciate your shirts just a little bit more now!

[Slayerof100]

Dude that shirt must return to be avaible!

[dreamsxofxhiei]

great introduction for those who don't know! thanks!

[ontherun8]

this is not true color separation, at least in the real mean of the term... you can call this just spot color design... you can do it simply using layers with any decent graphic software...

[150133]

Again, this series was meant as a basic overview as to how a design makes it from concept to completed product. It was never intended to give advice, or give how to instructions. It was just to show you the process I go through with the designs.

[EAI4TOKYO]

stupid fuck if you want to upload something upload it with a good advise muthafucka

[TrueSake]

all you did was show that there was color separation done, didn't actually show HOW do it

[frightrags]

That's actually what I wanted to do with this video as this was meant for those who aren't familiar with the process at all. I just wanted to provide a brief overview of the process rather than a tutorial type of thing. I may do that at some point in the future though.

[laaloboyzwestside]

what program or programs are best to use to learn how to separte colors or make separate sheets to print shirts? Could someone tell me what program would be best for a beginner?

[txscreener]

You need an underbase.......

[frightrags]

Thanks for the comment. You're right...we did use an underbase. I just didn't include it in this video because I was trying to show a very basic breakdown of the design. We actually used the light blue as an underbase (instead of the traditional white). I plan on expanding the series to different designs and will show more of an in-depth process.

[louisianaah]

hell yeahhhh! but how did you separate them so good!

[randolphjaffe]

Smexy

what an awesome tutorial

definitely makes me want to do more with my own art and designs =p

(I am so amateur)

[NakedShirts]

Great tutorial - cheers!

[HellaSolutions]

great overall series and cool to see some video, too. keep up the great work!

[lilmskrys]

hmmm... not all designs come in layers with the colors already separated like that, but ok... cool vid anyway!

[frightrags]

Actually, most of our designers provide those layers since they understand the art will be printed for the shirt. Depending on the design, I may have to clean it up a bit, but in most cases the separations are almost complete when I receive the final design.

Again, this series was meant as a basic overview as to how a design makes it from concept to completed product. We may go into more depth in another series later on, but for now I wanted to give everyone a behind the scenes look. Thanks!

[lilmskrys]

well then, that's VERY considerate of them!!! :) where I work, sometimes I have to deal with gradients that are in a flat image. poopie!

[eonblue27]

Hey Ben, how goes it? Tristan Wright here. The video is great. I never knew how these things were pulled off, but you explained it perfectly. Thanks buddy, and I look forward to purchasing this shirt whenever it's done.

[frightrags]

@slimeguy379 - Actually, we were able to get away without a white underbase for the red, so it was just the two coats. As for it being a tutorial, it really wasn't meant to be. I just wanted to show people an overview of what I do to the designs to get them ready for screenprinting.

[slimguy379]

also sorry to say but you didn't truly show how this wasn't a tutorial but a more of a look what I did...

[slimguy379]

wouldn't you have to put down 3 coats for the red? a white and the the 2 reds or would the red look good over the other colors? just wondering...

[Phobethephibe]

Ben, you are a truly wonderful man...!!! Aren't you clever!

I'll be buying this one off you for sure. So will my boyfriend, brother and son, possibly even my sister.

Start a business n Britain!
