Modern DTF T-Shirt Design

The job is straightforward: craft a fresh, modern t-shirt artwork that fuses engaging text with complementary graphic elements, ready for direct-to-film (DTF) printing.

I will provide the concept wording and any brand guidelines once we start. Your task is to translate that concept into a visually balanced layout, sized for a standard adult tee, at 300 DPI on a transparent background. Please keep colours print-friendly and layer your file so tweaks to typography or palette remain simple.

Deliverables
• Print-ready PNG (transparent, 300 DPI, 12×16 in or larger)
• Layered source file (AI, PSD or editable vector)
• Mock-up on a plain tee for quick review

Acceptance criteria
• Clearly modern aesthetic—clean lines, contemporary fonts, well-integrated illustration
• Text and graphics work together; neither feels like an afterthought
• No jagged edges or stray pixels when zoomed to 100%

To move you to the short list, attach or link to past work that shows this kind of text-plus-graphic approach on apparel. A quick note on your usual tools (Illustrator, Photoshop, Procreate, etc.) is helpful, but please let the visuals speak for themselves.
