Photorealistic Cinematic T-Shirt Design Specialist

Hi — I’m looking to work with a designer who enjoys creating photorealistic, cinematic visuals for t-shirts and merchandise.

This is a direct collaboration. You’ll create the designs, and I’ll personally review and approve them. I value clarity, respectful communication, and high-quality output, and I aim to keep the process simple and efficient for both of us.

This role is focused on execution, not open-ended concept exploration.

What I’m Looking For

Photorealistic or hyper-realistic imagery (not illustration or cartoon styles)

Strong sense of cinematic lighting and realism

Understanding of apparel print requirements

Ability to deliver solid work on the first pass

AI-assisted workflows are fine as long as the final result looks realistic and is print-ready.

Project Guidelines

No logos, trademarks, or real athletes

Dark or neutral backgrounds preferred

Center-chest composition for t-shirts

Final delivery: 300 DPI PNG, print-ready

How We’ll Start

Paid test task (1 design, fixed price, no revisions)

Test budget: $25–$50

If it’s a good fit, there’s potential for ongoing per-design or hourly work

How I Review

I review designs quickly based on realism, lighting, balance, and whether it feels wearable and premium. If something isn’t a fit, I’ll be direct so no one’s time is wasted.
